Babies can eat rice when they are 7-9 months old because their gastrointestinal development is gradually maturing and their milk buds are beginning to emerge, so they can slowly practice their ability to chew food, but pay attention to thin or soft rice, too hard rice can cause indigestion in babies. It is not always better to have soft rice, it can be soft to hard according to the baby’s growth and development, because as the baby grows older, food with a certain degree of hardness can promote the child’s teeth eruption and chewing function formation. The amount of rice your baby eats at once should not be too much, just a few spoons at first, the baby’s stomach capacity is small, the amount of rice can gradually increase with age. Rice is only used as a staple food, and can be combined with meat and vegetables to gradually replace breast milk or formula to provide energy and nutrition, as well as animal protein and vitamins that are not available in formula.
