A one year old baby can eat shrimp skin. Generally, babies aged 9-10 months can already eat shrimp skin, and parents can add some chopped shrimp skin to the food they feed their babies. However, when feeding shrimp to babies, do not eat too much at first. Instead, observe the baby's reaction. After the baby has no allergic reaction after eating shrimp once, parents should not take it lightly. They should observe more times to ensure that the baby will not have any allergic reaction after eating shrimp multiple times. Only then can they safely feed the baby shrimp.
Shrimp skin contains various minerals that can supplement the nutritional needs of babies' bodies. During the growth and development of babies, various bodily functions and tissues are rapidly growing, with bone growth being particularly rapid. Therefore, babies have a very high demand for calcium. The calcium content in shrimp skin is particularly high, and eating shrimp skin can promote bone growth in babies. The abundant protein, zinc, selenium, and vitamin B2 in shrimp skin also play a positive role in promoting brain development in babies.
