1. Dietary needs of 8-month-old babies
At 8 months, the baby\’s body has gradually grown stronger and needs more nutrients to support physical development. At this point, breast milk or formula should still be the main food, but solid foods can be slowly introduced. Babies need more protein, carbohydrates and fats to meet their growth and development needs.
Solid food for babies aged 2 to 8 months
As your baby grows older, you can start to try a variety of solid foods. It is recommended to try single ingredients such as rice noodles, oatmeal, and mashed bananas first, and then gradually add new vegetables and fruits. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid foods that are high in added sugar or salt.
Drinks for babies aged three to eight months
In addition to breast milk or formula, you can give your baby water or juice. But be aware that juice should not exceed 120 ml per day, and choose pure juice without added sugar.
Foods not suitable for babies aged four to eight months
At this stage, avoid feeding your baby spicy, greasy or overly exciting foods. In addition, you should avoid feeding your baby food containing honey, as honey may cause intestinal diseases in babies.

1. Give an appropriate amount of breast milk or formula milk.

3. Avoid foods with too much added sugar or high salt content.
