The baby's diet should be balanced. Eat some fruits, vegetables, and fish every day. When adding new ingredients, you should start with a small amount, and wait until the baby's gastrointestinal adaptation. When feeding normally, try to add only one new ingredient every day to avoid being unable to determine which ingredient your baby is not used to.

Put the baby on the dining chair to avoid moving around. You can also let the baby eat by himself according to his own ability. Prepare some cute plates and spoons, which can increase the baby's interest in eating and train the baby's ability to eat on his own.
