Once babies are born, they breathe and feed in the same manner as adults...with their noses and mouths. Their stomachs, however, are not capable of digesting solid foods; therefore, babies must be breastmilk/formula fed until they are at least 4 months of age. Introducing food before 4 months can lead to malnourishment and food Allergies.
