Mango at what age can be given to children
Choosing healthy food for your child is a very important task. Baby food should be varied and balanced to help develop the baby's taste preferences and provide him with all the necessary substances. “But is it possible to give a child a mango? At what age is it safest? - this is the question that worries young mothers, especially those who seek to follow the advice of foreign pediatricians and nutritionists.
nine0003
At what age can mangoes be given to children?
American doctors allow mangoes as early as 8-10 months. The Canadians are not far behind. The Canadian Society of Pediatrics recommends adding pureed fruits such as mango, apple, avocado, banana, and vegetables such as carrots and peas. And some begin to do this as early as 4-6 months.
At what age do Ukrainian mothers give mangoes? Ukrainian doctors advise feeding a child with any exotic only after a year, carefully observing the reaction of the body. And if the baby is prone to allergies - only at the age of 2-3. nine0003
Benefits for baby
This exotic fruit is low in calories but high in fiber, which helps to normalize baby's stools and is generally good for the developing gastrointestinal tract. Ripe mango contains a large amount of nutrients: vitamins A, C, K and E, folic acid and mineral compounds (potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, sodium). The composition also contains a small amount of iron, zinc, manganese and copper.
Ripe pulp contains much more carotenoids than most other fruits. These substances, according to scientists, reduce the risk of developing cancer and cardiovascular disease, and also help the child fight the cold.
Useful properties of mango for a child:
- Strengthens the immune system, helps to cope or prevent colds, flu, rhinitis, SARS;
- Increases visual acuity, as it contains a large dosage of beta-carotene and vitamin A; nine0027
- Improves mood, gives vitality and energy, tones the body;
- Increases hemoglobin levels and regulates blood composition;
- Calms, improves sleep and nerve cells;
- Improves memory, attention and concentration, performance;
- Positive effect on brain activity;
- Prevention of cancer, diseases of the heart and blood vessels;
- Helps to lose weight, reduces appetite; nine0027
- Improves digestion;
- Mango juice prevents sunstroke and tones the body during sun exposure.
Mango puree is easily absorbed by even the most delicate baby's gastrointestinal tract, as it contains enzymes, esters, terpenes and aldehydes that aid digestion.
Why mango is harmful
The main danger of exotic fruit is allergenicity. A child may develop a rash and irritation on the skin, worsen stools and disturb digestion, tummy ache, flatulence and colic. nine0003
The allergen is in the skin of the fetus, therefore, despite the benefits, the skin must be removed. It has a strong irritation on the mucous membrane and disrupts the functioning of the intestines due to the content of special substances and fibers.
