Is it okay for a baby who is more than 7 months old to eat very little supplementary food?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

When introducing solid foods to infants, it should be done gradually. Start with one food at a time, increasing the variety and amount slowly. Begin with thin liquids and gradually thicken them, and start with fine textures before moving to coarser ones. For example, vegetables and fruits can be introduced as vegetable water, juice, vegetable puree, and fruit puree. Meats should first be introduced as meat broth, then meat puree, and finally minced meat.
