Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Usually, complementary foods are introduced around 4 months. The rules for introducing complementary foods are to start with one type and gradually move to multiple types, from small amounts to larger amounts, from thin to thick, from liquid to semi-liquid, and from vegetables to meat, in a step-by-step manner. This allows the baby's gastrointestinal tract to adapt. Before the age of one, dairy products are still the baby's main food. The baby should still primarily rely on breast milk or formula, as these are the main sources of calcium.
