If you opened this you are probably wondering “can babies eat pineapple” and the answer is complex. Yes and no. They can start eating pineapple after they are 6 months old, no sooner. This is because the acidity can really cause problems with diaper rash and stomach aches. If your baby has acid reflux, pineapple may make conditions worse! You also want to monitor if there are any allergy issues (rashes, hard of breathing, etc.)
Pineapples are high in vitamin B6, vitamin C, and magnesium. These are great for nutrition. Just be aware that you should start your child off by pureeing the pineapple since it is a choking hazard. You could also start with pineapple juice. To puree the pineapple just core the middle, cut into chunks then put into a blender. Blend until smooth and store in a air tight container in the fridge or serve! If you’re wondering if your toddler can have pineapple the answer is absolutely! Just make sure you cut the pineapple into small enough pieces so they don’t choke roughly 1/2 inch pieces.
