Solid foods that babies between two and five months old can eat
Five-month-old babies can start eating some single-ingredient solid foods, such as rice noodles, oatmeal, etc. These solid foods should be delicate and soft and can be spoon-fed to the baby. In addition, banana puree, apple puree, pear puree and other fruit purees are also good choices.
Solid foods that babies between three and five months old cannot eat
Although babies as young as five months old can start to try some solid foods, there are still some things they are not suitable for eating. Products containing honey or other sweeteners and any food that may cause allergies, such as peanut butter.
Feeding time and frequency for babies aged four and five months

Things to note when adding complementary foods to babies aged five to five months
When adding complementary food to a five-month-old baby, you need to pay attention to the following points: First, make sure that the complementary food is delicate and soft and does not contain any ingredients that may cause allergies.

Finally, when adding new complementary foods, gradually increase the amount and observe whether the baby has any discomfort.
