1. Why is it necessary to add complementary foods to 7-month-old babies?
As the baby grows, breast milk or formula milk can no longer meet its nutritional needs, and complementary foods need to be introduced at this time. At about 7 months, the baby\’s digestion has been fully developed and he can begin to gradually add complementary foods. Appropriate addition of complementary foods can not only supplement nutrition, but also cultivate children\’s taste and chewing ability.

1. Choose foods that are easy to digest: such as rice noodles, noodles, bananas, etc.
2. Choose foods rich in nutrients: such as tofu, chicken puree, egg yolks, etc.
3. Avoid adding too much salt and sugar: Too much salt and sugar will affect your baby\’s health.
4. Avoid adding overly irritating foods: such as raw onions, ginger, etc.
5. Be careful to avoid allergenic foods: such as milk, peanuts, etc.
