Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants be exclusively breastfed or formula-fed for the first six months of life. After six months, infants can start on solid foods in addition to breast milk or formula. Introducing solid foods too early may increase the risk of choking, as well as interfere with the infant's ability to properly digest food. Waiting until one year of age or longer is not necessary or recommended for most infants.
