Скачать или смотреть Babies & Tomatoes

"Tomatoes can be introduced to babies around 6 months of age when they're ready to start solids. However, be mindful that acidic foods like tomatoes may cause a harmless rash on skin in contact with their juices and can sometimes worsen diaper rash. To minimize reactions, start with small amounts and observe your baby's response. If there are signs of discomfort, consider delaying tomato introduction until your baby's digestive system matures further.

6 months old: Babies can start having tomatoes as soon as they begin solids, typically around 6 months of age. However, be cautious as tomatoes and other acidic foods may cause a harmless rash on the skin that comes into contact with the juices, including diaper rash.

9 months old: Offer quartered cherry tomatoes as finger food or practice with a pre-loaded fork. Watch for any lingering tomato skins and coach baby to spit them out if they come off while eating.

24 months old: As the child develops mature eating skills, such as chewing thoroughly and not stuffing food in their mouths, they may be ready to learn how to eat whole cherry tomatoes. Start with large, ripe cherry tomatoes and demonstrate taking a slow bite to cut the tomato in half with your front teeth. Supervise closely and offer coaching as needed.

Ensure that practice with whole cherry tomatoes is done in a supported seat with direct supervision. Start with larger cherry tomatoes, such as long, oval-shaped ones, and progress to smaller sizes if necessary. Offer gentle guidance and patience as the child learns to handle and eat whole cherry tomatoes."
