Question 1

y here in canada they recommend to introduce food to babies at 6 months? any everywhere else they start at 4 months? when should i start?

Accepted Answer

6 months: Years ago, breastfeading was frowned on & many made "formula" from boiled cow milk&karo. Since cow milk is designed for calves, infants were fed early & often to make up for deficiences in cow milk. Now that breast is back, or formulas  mimic breast, solids are optional. The sitting child is more capable of participating & few sit before 6m. Babies can wait past a year and thrive.

Question 2

what are the benefits of prolonging solid food for babies?

Accepted Answer

Breast milk/formula: are all that is needed until infants are at least 4-6 months old.   Early introduction of solids has been associated with food allergies and over feeding and obesity. Breast feeding protects against diarrhea illness Also, some high fiber foods may cause diarrhea, gas, cramps.   After 6 months, milk may not provide enough iron for blood and muscle growth, so foods that contain iron are recommended.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Possibly: As i indicated in my previous post to you, your child has hemoglobin e / beta+ thalassemia. Some patients like your child will have problems with iron overload, even if they are not chronically transfused. For those patients, excess iron in the diet can be harmful. Please see a doctor with knowledge about hemoglobin e / beta+ thalassemia.
