After the baby is six months old, the mother can add complementary foods to the baby. As the baby continues to grow older, more nutrients need to be consumed to meet the needs of physical development. Therefore, the food that the mother needs to give the baby becomes more diversified. However, because the baby is still young, some foods still need to be avoided. So, is it good for a 20 month old baby to eat mangosteen?
A 20 month old baby is approaching 2 years old, and their gastrointestinal function is well-developed. In addition, the flesh of mangosteen is snow-white, tender and soft, with a sweet and sour taste and a smooth texture. mangosteen is rich in nutrients, especially protein, fiber, various mineral elements and vitamins, and has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, generating fluids and quenching thirst, which is beneficial to the baby's body. Therefore, mothers can give their babies mangosteen.
Although babies can eat mangosteen, they should be careful not to eat too much because mangosteen contains a large amount of fiber. If it absorbs water in the gastrointestinal tract, it will swell. Eating too much can easily fill the baby's stomach and affect their normal nutrient intake. At the same time, it may also cause constipation symptoms. Therefore, babies should not eat more than 3 mangosteen per day. In addition, mangosteen contains high sugar, and excessive consumption can cause obesity in babies. For babies with weak and cold constitution, mangosteen belongs to the cold type and cannot be eaten.
When selecting mangosteen, the first step is to pinch the fruit shell. Fresh ones are easy to open, while stale ones can be very hard. In fact, you need to look at the fruit stem. The greener the color, the fresher it is, the darker the color, the older or less fresh it is, and the darker the color, the more likely it is to have gone bad. Observing the skin, it should be new and lack luster. Weighing the weight indicates that there is enough moisture and freshness. Finally, there should be no damage or hard lumps on the surface of the skin, and there should be no insect traces. If there are, it should not be eaten.
