  When babies reach around six months old, they can add complementary foods to supplement their nutrition. At this time, babies with a quick temper will be eager to eat complementary foods and cry. The reason for this situation is that the mother did not follow the disease principle of adding complementary foods well. The rule of adding complementary foods is as follows:

  1. From thin to thick. Babies can add complementary foods at six months and above. The function of complementary foods is to provide energy and nutrients that breast milk cannot provide. At this time, the baby's digestive system is not perfect, so when adding complementary food for the first time, whether it is Rice noodles or other self-made complementary food, the water must be sufficient. After the baby adapts, add a thicker complementary food.

  2. Cook for the baby alone. It is not advisable for some mothers to let their babies eat adult food out of curiosity. Especially adult dishes have high salt content. High salt content is a burden on babies' kidneys, so their complementary foods must be made separately and with less oil and salt.

  Eggs cannot be used as a staple food. Eggs have high nutritional value and can help babies supplement high-quality protein and calcium. However, the nutrients in eggs are not comprehensive, such as the very low content of carbohydrates. Therefore, eggs cannot be a staple food for babies, and some babies are allergic to eggs.
