Should a 3-month-old eat supplementary foods?

No, a 3-month-old should not eat supplementary foods. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Turkey's Ministry of Health recommend exclusive breast milk feeding for the first 6 months. A 3-month-old's digestive system is not yet ready to process solid foods; introducing supplementary foods too early increases the risk of allergy, digestive problems, and choking hazard. During this period, all of the baby's nutritional needs are met by breast milk or the formula recommended by your doctor. The transition to supplementary foods should be at 6 months at the earliest and must be done with pediatrician approval.
