Many babies are prone to catching colds during the transition between winter and spring seasons. As babies have weaker constitutions, once they catch a cold, their immune system will weaken. Therefore, during the period of a baby's cold, in addition to timely treatment, protective measures should also be taken. Can babies eat apples during a cold?
Due to the gradual decline of a baby's immune system during a cold, it is not only necessary to treat the baby in a timely manner, but also to encourage them to eat foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as eggs, milk, and various vegetables and fruits. As a common fruit, apples are not only rich in various vitamins, but also contain abundant minerals. So, during a baby's cold, we can give them some apples to eat appropriately.
However, due to the baby's weak digestive ability, it may be difficult for them to digest and absorb apples directly. So when feeding apples to babies, it is best to chop the apples into small pieces and make apple puree to feed them, so that the nutrients in the apples can be fully absorbed by the baby's intestines and stomach.
Although there are certain benefits to letting babies eat apples during a cold, it is also important to be careful not to let them eat too many apples. Keeping one apple a day is enough. Otherwise, babies who eat too many apples are prone to diarrhea.
