Will eating longkong (langsat) cause my baby to have excessive internal heat (fire)?

Generally, if babies consume rambutan in moderate amounts, they usually do not experience heatiness. However, consuming excessive amounts may lead to heatiness. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Rambutan is rich in vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. Eating it in moderation can help supplement essential nutrients for a baby's growth and enhance immunity. Normally, when consumed in small amounts, a baby's body can properly absorb and metabolize the nutrients from rambutan without accumulating internal heat, thus benefiting the baby's health and avoiding symptoms of heatiness.

However, excessive consumption of rambutan may cause heatiness in babies. As a tropical fruit, rambutan has a relatively warm nature. Eating too much can lead to an accumulation of warmth within the baby's body. Since a baby's digestive system is not fully developed, excessive intake not only increases the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal tract but also easily disrupts the internal heat balance, potentially causing symptoms of heatiness such as red and swollen gums, mouth ulcers, and constipation, which may affect the baby's normal physical condition and daily activities.

When feeding rambutan to babies, parents should strictly control the quantity and adjust it according to the baby's age. The rambutan's rough outer skin can easily harbor dirt and contaminants, so it must be thoroughly washed under running water. Additionally, the seed should be removed to prevent accidental ingestion and potential danger to the baby.
