Mango is rich in nutrients and has a delicious taste, which is loved by many people. Many parents like to eat, so they also like to give their babies food. But the fruits given to babies still need to be chosen. Although mangoes are delicious, it is important to know if they are suitable for babies to eat. Can a 16 month old baby eat mangoes?
Mango fruit contains a particularly high amount of sugar, protein, crude fiber, and carotenoids, and its rich nutritional content is rare in other fruits. However, due to the high content of allergenic fruit acids in mangoes, they can easily cause allergic reactions after consumption. Therefore, babies under one year old should not eat mangoes to avoid allergic reactions.
After one year old, babies can eat a small amount of mangoes, so 16 month old babies can eat mangoes, but their intake should also be controlled. At the beginning, feed the baby slowly and observe their reaction. If the baby does not experience allergies or indigestion, gradually increase the amount of feeding. However, it is advisable for babies to consume no more than 50 grams of mango per day to avoid affecting their intake of other foods.
For babies with asthma and allergies, it is best not to eat mangoes, no matter how much they are, because if these babies eat mangoes, it can easily trigger old diseases and have a certain impact on their health. Therefore, parents should pay extra attention to their babies' reactions when feeding mangoes. If allergic reactions occur, feeding should be stopped immediately.
