Can babies eat fatty meat?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Can infants eat fatty meat?

Doctor's answer:

It is not recommended to give too much fat, whether for adults or children. It's best to minimize the intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods. Eating fat doesn't necessarily improve digestion, and there is no scientific basis for that. Even if fat can promote bile secretion, there's no need to deliberately eat it—there are plenty of other options.
Oats are very nutritious. When cooking oatmeal porridge, you can add some fruits for better flavor and more comprehensive nutrition. For example, banana puree, apple chunks, or pear juice. This makes the porridge tastier and more nutritious, and babies will love it too.
