#asktheexpert Hi what are the draw backs of giving solids to 4.5 month old baby boy

A. Introducing solids to a 4-month-old baby can have drawbacks such as increased risk of allergies, digestive issues, and potential strain on their still-developing digestive system. Additionally, early introduction of solids can interfere with breastfeeding or formula feeding, which are essential for their nutrition in the first few months. It's generally recommended to wait until around 6 months when babies have better developed digestive systems and are better able to handle solid foods.
