Scallion is a common seasoning on our dining table, whether it's stir frying or dipping in water, scallions are essential. But the taste of scallions is strong and stimulating. For adults, it can be consumed with peace of mind, but for children, it can also be consumed with peace of mind. Will it stimulate the child's body? Can children eat scallions?
Babies are not allowed to eat scallions, but for children over one year old, they can eat a small amount of scallions. Scallions contain essential nutrients for the human body, such as vitamins and carotenoids. Cooking can also remove fishy odors and increase appetite. However, it is not suitable for infants under one year old as scallions have a spicy and highly stimulating odor. Babies' bodies are still in the developmental stage, and their digestive organs are not yet mature and fragile. Therefore, they should avoid foods that are too spicy.
A one year old baby can eat a small amount of scallions or not eat scallions at all. Stimulating foods can easily cause the baby's stomach to become overheated and injured, leading to symptoms such as constipation or yellow urine, which is not conducive to the baby's growth and health. If you give your baby onions, the mother can give them some fruits or drink some fruit juice. Fresh fruits can effectively remove internal heat from the body and smooth out the baby's digestive system.
After eating scallions, children may feel thirsty. Parents should give their children plenty of water to alleviate the damage caused by scallions to their mouths. If the baby has oral ulcers after eating onions, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner. Parents should prepare light and stimulating foods for their children as much as possible. Do not blindly add seasonings to children's food. You can slowly expose your baby to some stimulating food, but not too quickly or excessively.
