Newborn babies should be fed mainly with breast milk and milk powder. As the baby continues to grow, it is necessary to add some complementary foods appropriately to supplement a full range of complementary foods. Parents also want to feed their babies nutritious food, so how old can the baby eat?

Generally speaking, babies can eat when they are 1 year old, but not all foods can be given to babies. Because your baby has not yet grown teeth, you must pay attention to choosing foods that are easy for your baby to digest. When preparing food for your baby, pay attention to the hardness of the ingredients. It is necessary to increase the amount in small amounts at the beginning, and it is more appropriate to choose liquid food for the baby. In addition, pay attention to the separation of dry and wet food, and do not mix them together, which may easily lead to difficulty in digestion of the baby and make the baby uncomfortable to eat.

When the baby is more than 1 year old, the baby's teeth will sprout, so in terms of staple food, the baby can eat almost the same as adults. When making these complementary foods, such as rice, steamed buns and noodles, appropriately adding some green vegetables to the baby can arouse the baby's appetite and also provide timely supplementation of trace elements.

In addition, it should be noted that the food eaten before the baby is 3 years old is best cooked by steaming, stewing, stewing and other cooking methods. Food with a hard texture needs to be chopped and cooked appropriately, not too hard or too chewy. It is soft and provides proper chewing exercise, which is beneficial to the growth and development of the baby.
