Generally speaking, babies need to start adding complementary foods except milk about six months after birth, because the food intake of such a big child has started to increase, and at the same time, some nutrients brought by the baby from the mother have gradually disappeared, the most obvious one is iron, which is what breast milk and milk powder lack, which is why most of the complementary foods added at the beginning are high-iron rice noodles, so adding complementary foods in time is helpful for the baby's physical development.

Sometimes think about it, people are actually very smart. Babies usually start teething when they are about six months old. Appropriate addition of complementary food will help the baby's chewing and swallowing ability, and also play the role of grinding teeth, reducing the baby's oral irritability. In the process of the baby's growth, the complementary food will gradually change from turbid to massive, and the consistency will gradually thicken from thin, and the overall category will become more and more abundant. The different flavors of various foods will also remain in the baby's memory, laying the foundation for future eating habits.

When the baby is about six months old, the digestive tract also begins to develop and gradually improves. Starch food needs to be added to stimulate its further development. The addition of complementary food will promote the gradual improvement of intestinal function of digestive system. Moreover, in the process of eating complementary food, it is also a process of gradually exercising and developing fine movements. He will slowly learn to grasp things and feed them to his mouth, from grasping food with the fingers of his whole hand to holding food like small beans with his fingers, which is also slowly learned in the process of eating complementary food.

If you only drink milk, your baby will lose many development opportunities, and even have difficulty eating in the future. And in my opinion, just drinking milk also loses a lot of fun of growing up. There are so many delicious foods and so many flavors waiting for him to taste. Don't bury a future of eating goods!
