When are second son was a few months old my wife and I were in charge of the church picnic so one of the older ladies offered to care for our infant son. He was being fussy so she gave him a piece of ham to suck on. He was fine for her but that night he had a terrible stomach ache and we paid for her compromise.
Babies need milk. Their digestive system is not ready for solid food but as they get older we expect that they will graduate from a milk only diet to be able to eat solid food. We don't give a baby ham but if they never eat solid food them we are concerned.
That is the same with Christians. Christians need the milk of the Word so that they will grow but we expect them to grow into a diet of solid food.
