When the baby is 8 months old, the deciduous teeth begin to grow, the chewing ability begins to show, and the digestive system begins to mature. At this point, it's time to wean the baby and turn to milk substitutes and milk as the staple food. In order to ensure that the baby's nutritional needs are met, in addition to three meals of milk instead of food, milk and snacks should be arranged once in the morning and once in the afternoon. This can not only make up for the protein and inorganic salts that may be lacking in milk substitute food, but also provide enough energy and nutrition for the baby.
