Saint Mary's fruit, also known as small tomatoes, is a nutritious seasonal fresh fruit and vegetable that can be used for cooking or as a fruit for consumption. After being able to eat complementary foods, babies also need to eat some vitamin rich fruits and vegetables in moderation. Can 8-month-old babies eat cherry tomatoes?
1. The cherry contains a relatively rich variety of vitamins, as well as fruit acids, carotenoids, tomato pigments, and small amounts of fat, protein, and other substances. It can be said to be a fresh fruit and vegetable with good nutritional value. At 8 months old, babies can already eat a variety of complementary foods, so they can also eat some Saint Mary's fruit in moderation.
2. Although the nutritional value of the cherry is good, its outer skin is relatively thick and difficult to digest, and babies have delicate digestive systems, so it is necessary to remove the outer skin when eating cherry. You can use boiling water to heat the Saint Mary's fruit, and then easily remove its outer skin. Finally, press the peeled Saint Mary's fruit into a paste with a small spoon, or use a blender to make a paste and feed it to the baby.
3. When giving a baby a cherry for the first time, it is necessary to try a small amount first, as every new complementary food requires the baby's delicate digestive system and a gradual adaptation process. After a small amount of feeding, observe whether the baby has any abnormal bowel movements recently, and whether there are any adverse reactions such as bloating and diarrhea. If everything is normal and there are no adverse reactions, the dosage can be increased at discretion.
