The digestive system of an infant is very sensitive at this stage. It is crucial to choose foods for them to eat that are soft and can be easily digested. Constipation may be the cause of foods which consists of grains and meat. That is why fiber rich foods are encouraged because it doesn't only clean the digestive system but are also healthy for the body.
