Introduction
Cherries can be适量 fed to babies after 6 months of age. Due to rapid growth, babies' demand for nutrients increases at 6 months, and cherries are rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. It is not recommended for infants under 6 months to consume cherries, as their digestive systems are not yet fully developed at this stage.

Generally speaking, whether a baby can eat waxberry depends on the baby's specific age. The details are as follows:

Babies over 6 months old can consume waxberry in moderation. Due to rapid growth, babies require increased nutrients at 6 months of age, and waxberry flesh contains abundant dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients that can help improve thrombocytopenia symptoms, stimulate saliva production to relieve thirst, and aid digestion. At this stage, waxberry can be given to the baby together with other fruit juices, but it should be administered in moderation to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort caused by excessive intake.

However, it is not recommended for infants under 6 months old to consume waxberry. At this stage, the baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, and the acidic substances and fiber contained in waxberries may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. In addition, introducing solid foods too early may increase the risk of allergies.

In daily life, when feeding waxberry to babies older than 6 months, it is recommended to remove the pit first and mash the flesh into a paste or榨 juice to prevent the baby from accidentally swallowing the pit.
