<br>I understand
that qualitatively, there is a difference between the tzoah of<br>a baby and
that of an adult. I have two metzius questions:<br><br>1) When does that change
actually take place? Is it actually eating grains<br>that affects the change, or
is it solid food in general?<br></div></font></div><font style="background-color: transparent;" color="#000000" size="2" face="Arial"></font></div>
