Cherry is a relatively expensive fruit, with a bright red color that is very attractive and rich in nutrients. Therefore, many people not only enjoy eating it themselves, but also feed it to their babies. However, if a baby is sick, especially when they have diarrhea, many things cannot be eaten. Can babies eat cherries for diarrhea?
1. Cherries are not only beautiful in color, but also delicious and nutritious. It contains carbohydrates, proteins, as well as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and various vitamins. Especially iron and vitamin A are 4 to 5 times higher than other fruits, so cherries are a highly nutritious fruit. Cherries have a mild nature, so babies with diarrhea can also consume them completely, but they should not eat too much. A few cherries a day are enough.
2. Cherries have pits, and babies may not have enough chewing ability to directly swallow the pits and large pieces of fruit flesh, causing throat blockage, swallowing difficulties, and even affecting physical health. So when feeding cherries to babies, parents should be careful not to let babies swallow cherries directly into their stomachs. Instead, they should take out the fruit pits and chop up the flesh before feeding them.
3. During the period of baby diarrhea, the baby needs more nutrition, and diarrhea increases the amount of excretion. If the baby's diet is reduced at this time, it may lead to malnutrition and worsen diarrhea. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid consuming high-fat and high protein foods, as this not only makes it difficult to compensate for diarrhea caused by nutritional loss, but also increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, causing diarrhea to worsen.
