Anthocyanins are strong antioxidants that can accelerate the regeneration of "rhodopsin" on the retina, thereby improving the baby's visual acuity and relieving symptoms such as eye fatigue and dryness.

When feeding mulberries to babies, be sure to feed them in moderation. It is recommended to divide the daily amount of mulberries into several days for the baby, rather than feed excessive amounts at one time.

One reason is that mulberries are cold in nature and difficult to digest. Eating too much will affect the baby's gastrointestinal digestion and damage the baby's spleen and stomach, especially for babies who already have weak spleen and stomach.

The second reason is that mulberries contain a large amount of trypsin inhibitor - tannic acid, which will affect the baby's absorption of iron, calcium, zinc and other substances. If your baby experiences severe abdominal pain or diarrhea after eating, especially if the stool is bloody, you should send your baby to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately.

When you first start adding fruit juice to your baby's complementary food, it is not recommended to add mulberries at the beginning. You should wait until your baby is suitable for common fruit juices before adding mulberry juice.
