In hot summer, it is very comfortable to eat mung bean soup or mung bean Congee. Because mung beans have a certain cooling effect, they are particularly suitable for eating on hot summer days. Some parents also want to give their babies some mung bean porridge to help them cool down. So, can babies eat mung bean porridge?
Whether a baby can eat mung bean porridge mainly depends on their actual age. If a baby is under six months old and has not yet started adding complementary foods, they definitely cannot eat mung bean porridge. Don't rush to give your baby green bean porridge when they start adding complementary foods at six months old. At least wait until the baby adapts to complementary foods before giving them mung bean porridge.
By the time the baby reaches around seven months old, they have already adapted to complementary foods. Parents can give their babies mung bean porridge, but from the baby's digestive ability, it is best to give them mung bean Congee. Food like Congee is easier for babies to accept and digest. But the baby is relatively young, so when making mung bean porridge for the baby, you should add a little less mung beans.
Green beans are a cold food, and it is a good idea for parents to give their babies green bean porridge. However, it is still difficult for babies to digest mung beans. It is recommended to soak the mung beans well before making mung bean porridge for babies. Of course, the cooking method for mung bean porridge for adults and babies is different. For babies, the amount of mung beans in the porridge is less and they need to be cooked for a while longer.
