Early providing food for infants does not affect their growth

Children who rely on manufactured dairy with feeding and eating solid foods before the age of 4 months gain of weight during the first year than children who start to eat later,  the age of eating children of solid foods does not affect the growth in the long term
.
  In a German study where the researchers followed nearly 700 children for two years and have found that children with the weight between 6 and 7 pounds , and were breastfed industrial milk and  ate solid food after the third , fourth fifth and the sixth month. Children who started to eat at the age of 3 months was a weight less than their peers but their growth has improved during the 6 months following compared to children who have begun to eat at the age of six months, and began to grow slowly during 3 months, and over two years there were no significance  differences between the different groups in terms of weight or length. The study also showed that children who eat early, eat larger amounts of calories during the first eight months.
The study recommended not to start in the provision of solid food for children until they  begin to show interest in this food.
