Why are solid foods not recommended for an infant during the first few months of life?

Solid foods are not recommended for infants during the first few months of life because their digestive systems are not fully developed, making it difficult for them to process and absorb nutrients from solid foods. Breast milk or formula provides all the necessary nutrients, hydration, and antibodies needed for healthy growth and development during this period. Introducing solids too early can also increase the risk of Allergies and gastrointestinal issues. It's generally advised to wait until around six months of age before introducing solid foods.
