Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The texture of beef is dense, with coarse and hard muscle fibers, making it difficult to chew. However, babies' teeth are not fully developed and usually do not have all their milk teeth by the time they are 3 years old, or they do not have true chewing function. Therefore, younger babies may sometimes refuse to eat beef. It is recommended to give babies softer, well-cooked beef after they are 1 year old.
