It's generally recommended to wait until a baby is at least one year old before introducing oranges.
Here's why:
-
Acidity: Oranges are acidic, which can irritate a baby's digestive system and potentially lead to diaper rash or spitting up.
-
Allergic Reactions: Citrus fruits like oranges are known allergens. Introducing them too early might increase the risk of an allergic reaction. Signs of an allergic reaction can include rash, hives, vomiting, or difficulty breathing.
Therefore, to avoid potential digestive issues or allergic reactions, it's best to wait until your baby is at least one year old before offering them oranges. Always consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice on introducing new foods to your baby.
