Oranges are very common in vegetable and fruit markets, and many people eat them in both the south and north. Many mothers who love oranges can't help but feed them to their babies without paying attention to the impact they have on them. Can babies eat oranges?
For babies under five months old, it is best not to eat oranges. Adults have difficulty digesting oranges when their digestive system is poor, let alone babies. Babies under five months old should not eat oranges. Oranges are hot, so mothers should control the amount of oranges their babies eat, otherwise it may cause them to become overheated.
When feeding oranges to babies, do not feed them directly because the outer surface of oranges has a thin film that is not easy to chew and may clog the baby's throat. The correct feeding method should be to tear off the thin film and then tear it into small pieces, feeding the baby bit by bit. Alternatively, squeezing juice directly for the baby to eat is also a good method.
Oranges can provide a lot of vitamins for babies. When the baby coughs, the mother can boil water and let the baby drink water from the orange stem, which can help the baby suppress coughing. When adding complementary foods, attention should be paid to the corresponding changes in the quantity and texture of each new complementary food. Slowly, you can increase the baby's food intake. The baby's daily milk intake should exceed 600 milliliters. If the baby is eating formula milk powder, they should pay attention to drinking plenty of water.
