5.5-month-old baby breakfast?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

It may be too early for a 5.5-month-old baby to start breakfast. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Turkey's Ministry of Health recommend completing the 6th month (starting after the 6th month) before introducing solid foods. If your baby's doctor decides they're developmentally ready and recommends starting, the first breakfast attempt should be very simple:

Best starting options: 1 teaspoon yogurt (homemade or suitable for babies, plain) or 1-2 teaspoons of hard-boiled and thoroughly mashed egg yolk (egg whites are not recommended until age 1). Give these alone as one meal and watch for reactions for a few days. Never add salt, sugar, honey, cow's milk (as a beverage), or spices. If your baby's doctor recommends earlier introduction, follow their instructions.
