Breast milk is the best food for babies. Chinese nutrition experts emphasize that it is necessary to add balanced and comprehensive complementary foods for infants around four months old to meet the needs of rapid growth and development. The addition of complementary foods is equally important as breastfeeding, fully in line with the requirements of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
When adding complementary foods to babies, you should start with grains and choose products suitable for their age. At the same time, it is advisable to gradually introduce more flavors of grain-based complementary foods to the baby, teach them to chew and swallow, which can not only help the baby pass the food transition period healthily but also lay a solid foundation for the baby to form good eating habits in the future.
