Fruits that two-year-old babies cannot eat

When babies are young, their stomachs and intestines are not fully developed, so some foods are not suitable for them. Some parents don’t know much about this knowledge, so if they give their babies these foods, it may cause harm to the baby’s body. There are many fruits that two-year-old babies cannot eat. Some are sour, and some are sweet. Parents can learn more about them.

1. Fruits that two-year-old babies cannot eat

It is not recommended to feed sour fruits such as tangerines, oranges, and lemons to babies as they will irritate the stomach and intestines. Because the baby's stomach and intestines may not be fully developed, these fruits are too irritating. It is not recommended to feed foods with pits such as cherries, longans, and lychees to babies, because they may accidentally swallow them after eating, and babies are relatively small, so it is easy for the pits to get stuck in their throats and choke them, which is very dangerous.

It is not recommended to feed tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango to babies as they may cause allergic reactions. If you are not sure whether your baby is allergic to mango, do not let him try it as it may cause allergies.

It is recommended to wait until the baby is older, at least until he is one year old before giving it to him.

Some parents think that some cold fruits should not be given to children, or some foods that can easily cause internal heat should not be eaten. You can observe it based on your baby's own constitution and see how the baby behaves after eating, but just be careful not to eat too much.

2. What is the time to eat fruit?

Don’t eat it shortly before a meal, otherwise your baby may not be able to eat. So the best thing is to eat it between meals, or after waking up from a nap. This is a better choice.

3. Then let’s talk about how to eat fruits?

Some parents like to squeeze fruits into juice to drink, but this is not recommended. One reason is that juicing is troublesome. Another reason is that if the baby is used to drinking juice, he may not like to drink water. Squeezing fruits into juice will actually make the baby eat more fruit than normal, and the sugar intake may also be too much.

The best way is to eat the fruit puree. For example, eating a banana is very simple, just dig it out and eat it directly. For apples, you can also scrape it off or you can cook and steam the apples. The same goes for pears.

Then when the baby is a little older and his teeth have grown, you can cut the fruit into pieces. Let the baby sit on the dining chair and put the fruit in front of him so that he can eat it with his hands. In the process of grabbing with his hands, the baby is actually exercising his hand ability.

Doing this at this time can make the baby realize that eating is something related to his hands, so that he will not only eat food fed to him and refuse to eat by himself.
