Can a 7-month-old baby eat mulberries?

Generally speaking, 7-month-old babies can eat mulberries, but it is recommended to wash the mulberries thoroughly and then blend them into a puree before feeding them to the baby. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Mulberries contain abundant fructose, vitamins, and various minerals, which are beneficial for a baby's growth and development. However, most 7-month-old babies are just beginning to start complementary foods. It is recommended to wash the mulberries thoroughly and then blend them into a puree to help the baby better absorb the nutrients. At the same time, ensure that the mulberries are fresh and clean to avoid pesticide residues or bacterial contamination.

Each baby's constitution and digestive capacity may vary, so their tolerance to mulberries can differ. Parents should adjust the quantity and frequency of feeding based on the baby's individual condition. When first introducing mulberries, begin with a small amount and closely observe the baby's reaction. Only gradually increase the amount if no adverse reactions occur. If the baby is allergic or shows signs of discomfort, such as rashes or vomiting, stop feeding mulberries immediately.

When introducing complementary foods, follow the principles of starting with small amounts and gradually increasing, progressing from thin to thicker consistencies, and from single ingredients to a variety, to ensure safety.
