Dr. Heilok, the right age


Some mothers rush to feed the child at an early age, which causes many harms that the mother may not know and affect the child's immunity. Therefore, doctors and health organizations recommend an appropriate age for feeding your child.



According to Dr. Mohammed Shabib, a pediatric and neonatologist consultant for the seventh day, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended feeding children between the ages of 4 and 6 months, noting that eating a child before that age is harmful, Natural, and therefore does not benefit from breast milk in this period, which requires the milk of the mother to form his body.



He points out that it is best to feed the child to 6 months of age, but food can be introduced to the child at the age of 4 months if the infant breastfeeds the milk with the mother's milk, and if the mother suffers from a lack of milk.



He explained that there are foods that can not be introduced to the child in the first year such as: buffalo milk, sugar and salt, as well as yogurt, preferably after the first year, adding that it is necessary to stay away from mascara and fruit when introducing food to the child and must start vegetables first to get used to the taste before the fruit
