The claim

「Egg yolk must be the first solid food」

Q: Egg yolk must be the first solid food

Partly true — Egg yolk is fine early, but it’s not a mandatory first food, and its iron trails fortified cereal and red meat. The first-food keyword is "iron-rich" — the format is flexible.

Verdict

Partly true

Egg yolk is fine early, but it’s not a mandatory first food, and its iron trails fortified cereal and red meat. The first-food keyword is "iron-rich" — the format is flexible.
