Fruit can be used as a snack for children because it has a high moisture content and also has fructose , which has a very good taste.
plus fruits are rich in dietary fiber , which can prevent children from constipation. Many fruits are rich in vitamin C, which can promote iron absorption!
. The most important task for children to add complementary food after 6 months is to supplement iron with . Eating fruits for children can make the iron absorption rate higher, and can avoid children with iron deficiency anemia .
can also allow the child's brain to get enough oxygen supply, which helps the child's brain development and can make the child's reaction faster!
So it is recommended that children add complementary foods. They should try to eat fruits for their children in the first month. At the beginning, the children eat rice noodles or meat paste from high-speed rail and liver paste. After
, you can give your child some vegetables with root stems, such as mashed potatoes, pumpkins, or pureed carrots. After

Fruits children love to eat can also help brain development. It is indeed a better choice for complementary food, but there are also some considerations for giving children fruits. Eating them incorrectly will cause children to picky food and even cause allergies to their children!
Before, there was a 4 and a half-year-old boy in Guilin, Guangxi. After eating the grapes he grew, his mouth was swollen and he was about to explode. Later, he was sent to a local health center. The doctor said that it was allergic to grapes, which caused .
So fruit allergies are actually not uncommon.
The outpatient clinic of Peking Union Medical College Hospital conducted a retrospective study on 907 patients with severe allergic reactions. It was found that 77% of the causes of severe allergic reactions were food, of which wheat was the culprit, accounting for 37% of the total triggers, and fruits and vegetables ranked second in 20%
I remember that when Jingjing was 8 months old, I worked hard to make complementary food for her, but she didn't like it. Later, she could only steam an apple for her, and then ate it with one bite of porridge.
So if the child adds complementary food incorrectly, it is easy for the child to be picky about food!
Add to complementary foods and eat fruits, remember the "five no eating" and don't wait until the child gets sick before regretting
1. Don't eat sour fruits
For example, lemon is a very sour fruit, which is also rich in vitamin C, but it is not recommended to add it to your children as complementary food.
Even if you add a small amount of sugar to the lemon, it is too sour for the child. acid will corrode the child's teeth , and the acid will also stimulate the secretion of the child's gastric acid .
So when children add complementary foods to make fruits, don’t add too sour fruits. The apples they buy for their children are better sweeter than too sour!
For example, plums and oranges are all sour, so don’t give your children a choice.
2. Don’t eat dried fruit
Raisins, dried mangoes, etc. Although these dried fruits are also made of fruits, during the fruit making process, the water of these dried fruits is evaporated, leaving too much fructose behind.
Children often eat dried fruits with a higher sugar content, which can easily lead to dental caries of children's teeth. Moreover, the hardness will increase after the fruit is made into dried fruits.
It is not suitable to treat it as complementary food for children aged one, and the child is prone to choking, and even accidentally inhaling the trachea to cause the risk of suffocation.
3. I have never eaten sweet fruits
It is a fruit that adults find very sweet, even sweet and greasy when they eat them. For example, lychee, longan , and durian are not recommended for children to eat.
The fruit that is too sweet also means that its has too high calories . Too much sugar can easily cause the child to get angry and feel uncomfortable.
Also, giving children often food that is too sweet can easily lead to children thinking that the food should be sweet, and they don’t like to eat unsweet foods.
4. Do not eat fruits that are prone to allergies
. Common allergic fruits, such as mango, lychee, pineapple , etc., and you must try very small amounts before you get one year old. It is even recommended to give it to your child after one year old, which means it is not recommended to give it to your child as complementary food.
and some seeds in it, such as kiwi fruit , dragon fruit , etc., when given to children, they should also be eaten in small quantities. Once the children have allergic to fruits, they should be given to children after at least three months.
5. Don’t eat juice
After the fruit is beaten into juice, the cell wall of the fruit is destroyed, vitamins are easily lost, and the sugar in juice is increased invisibly.
plus dietary fiber is destroyed, so juice is not very beneficial to children's health.
American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should not drink juice before the age of one, and should also drink small amounts of juice after the age of one.
