Generally, an 8-month-old baby has begun to sprout teeth. The complementary food can be from fine to coarse, from soft to hard, from muddy to broken, which can better help the baby practice chewing and tooth eruption.

The complementary food recipes are: thin and soft rice porridge, red minced meat (such as pig lean meat, beef, etc. to better supplement iron content), various vegetable minced meat (pumpkin, potato, cabbage leaf, etc.), fish paste (cod, yellow croaker, etc.), tofu, and various fruits (except some smaller fruits such as grapes and pomegranates to prevent accidental inhalation).
