Blueberries are one of the common fruits, and their consumption and nutritional value are both very good. Moderate consumption can enhance the body's immune and disease resistance functions. However, for babies with weak immunity, the biggest concern for mothers is that they may get sick or uncomfortable, which will affect their healthy growth. Some mothers have asked, can 15 month old babies eat blueberries?
After growing up to 6 months, babies can usually start to be exposed to complementary foods. As babies continue to grow, the range of complementary foods they can eat becomes more diverse, including various meats, vegetables, and fruits. However, blueberries are not the same subject as strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and other berry fruits, which are less likely to cause allergic reactions in babies. Therefore, babies can already eat blueberries at 6 months old, and at 15 months old, they can eat blueberries.
When babies aged 6 to 8 months eat blueberries, it is best for parents to steam or boil the blueberries and then mash them with fruit paste for the baby to eat. Steaming and boiling blueberries can have a certain bactericidal effect, which is beneficial for the baby's food safety. For babies over 1 year old, a small amount of bacteria may also cause diarrhea symptoms. If the baby is over 1 year old, just soak fresh blueberries in salt water for 5 minutes, gently rub them, and finally rinse them with cold water.
When selecting blueberries for babies, the first step is to look at their appearance. Good blueberries have a round, blue purple appearance, covered with white frost, and are evenly sized with a smooth and non sticky skin; The second step is to pinch the blueberries slightly with your hand. Good blueberries are more sturdy and will not be very soft or wrinkled; The third step is to taste blueberries. Good blueberries should have a rich aroma, a sweet and sour taste, and no fruit pits.
