Doctor's answer:

No, it's still early. You can introduce solid food to the child after they are 4 months old. Currently, the child's digestive system is not yet ready for processed grains, and eating them could upset their stomach. At this age, all the nutrients the child needs can be obtained from breast milk or formula, so there's no need to provide additional solid food. Introducing solid food too early is not good.
Recommendation: Wait until the child is 4 months old before gradually introducing solid food. Start with egg yolk, first with a quarter of an egg yolk, then gradually increase to half, and eventually to a whole egg. However, ensure the child eats at least two whole eggs. Introduce processed grains (like noodles) when the child is older.
