Can a 10-month-old baby eat grapes?

Babies' diets need to be diversified, and eating fruits is one way to maintain diversity. There are many types of fruits, and parents need to carefully choose fruits that are suitable for babies. For example, grapes are a very attractive fruit. Their taste and shape can leave a deep impression on people. However, parents should think twice about making grapes a baby's food. Let's take a look at whether ten-month-old babies can eat grapes.

Babies aged ten months can eat grapes.

1. Reasons:

Grapes are nutritionally comprehensive. The sugar in grapes is mainly glucose, which can be quickly absorbed by the human body and can meet the needs of baby's growth. Generally speaking, when the baby reaches the age of adding complementary foods, the mother can give the baby grape juice prepared by herself. If you want the baby to eat whole grapes, it is best to wait until the baby is over 1 year old.

The nutrients that babies need during their growth period are relatively comprehensive. Grapes have high nutritional value. Grapes are sweet and sour and can be made into grape juice, raisins, etc., which can diversify the baby's diet while providing nutrition.

2. Suggestions:

When the baby is about 6 months old, you can add some fruit and vegetable juice. At this time, the baby can drink some grape juice. The sugar content of grapes is very high, up to about 20%, so it is best to dilute the grape juice slightly when giving it to the baby. Babies can only eat grape chunks after they are 1 year old.

3. Tips:

Babies should not eat too many grapes. Generally, 5 to 8 grapes are enough. Because the baby's gastrointestinal function has not yet fully developed, grapes have a high sugar content, and eating too much will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. So no matter what kind of fruit it is, it should be eaten in moderation.

The benefits of eating grapes for babies

1. Supplement a variety of nutrients.

Grapes are rich in glucose, vitamins and various mineral elements and have high nutritional value. Grape juice is hailed by scientists as "plant milk".

2. Stimulate appetite and help digestion.

Grapes contain more tartaric acid, which helps digestion. Eating more grapes can strengthen the spleen and stomach, which is very good for the baby's body. Especially when babies have poor appetite in the hot summer, eating grapes can help stimulate their appetite.

3. Replenish sugar and is easy to absorb.

Grapes have a high sugar content, about 10%-25%. Most of the sugar contained in grapes is glucose which is easily absorbed directly by the human body, so babies with weak digestive ability can eat more grapes.
