POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy12 months agoA. It is generally not recommended to give biscuits or solid foods to a 4-month-old baby. At this age, infants are typically still exclusively breastfed or formula-fed, as their digestive systems are not fully developed to handle solid foods.
Reasons to Avoid Biscuits for a 4-Month-Old:
1. Digestive System Maturity: Babies at this age usually lack the enzymes needed to digest complex carbohydrates found in biscuits.
2. Choking Hazard: Biscuits can pose a choking risk, as they may break into small pieces that can be difficult for an infant to swallow.
3. Nutritional Needs: At 4 months, a baby’s primary nutritional needs are met through breast milk or formula, which provide the right balance of nutrients.
Recommendations:
Introducing Solids: The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests starting solid foods around 6 months of age when the baby shows signs of readiness, such as being able to sit up with support, showing interest in food, and having good head and neck control.
First Foods: If you’re considering starting solids at around 6 months, begin with iron-fortified cereals, pureed fruits, and vegetables.
For more guidance, you can refer to these resources:
HealthyChildren.org on Introducing Solid Foods
American Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines
Always consult your pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby’s diet.
