    According to the doctor’s instructions, the baby’s digestive tract and kidney function are not mature enough before the age of 4 months. Therefore, it is not recommended to add supplementary food (anything other than breast milk or infant formula) before the baby is 4 months old (17 weeks old). Solid and liquid food*), and it is not recommended to postpone until 6 months of age (over 26 weeks). Adding complementary foods in time can help drive the maturity of gastrointestinal function and promote the development of the nervous system. If supplementary food is added later than 9-10 months, it will cause feeding difficulties.
