How old can a baby be to eat rice cakes?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How old does an infant need to be to eat rice cakes?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it takes about four months to introduce solid foods, as this allows the digestive system to develop more fully. If a two-month-old baby is introduced to solid foods at this stage, the opposite effect may occur, potentially leading to diarrhea and other illnesses. Your situation may be caused by a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with calcium. Yogurt is also an excellent food for calcium supplementation. In addition to providing calcium, the beneficial bacteria in yogurt can also regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for people of all ages.
