What berries can be given to a child first: Dr. Komarovsky

Summer is a unique opportunity to pamper your child with fresh fruits and berries, which are so important for a small growing organism. But what to do if the child is very small - should you give him berries at all, if so, which ones and when should you start getting to know them for the first time?

“In fact, categorically, unequivocally, “Start with this berry!” - there is no such. Grapes, currants, gooseberries, wild strawberries, strawberries, you just have to be sure of their quality. That, in fact, is all. Again, we know very well that when we start complementary foods, the main rule is: we do not give the child 150 berries. We give half to one, see how he reacted. Normal - great.

One more piece of advice. You want to give a berry, you doubt it. Start not with a berry, but with a compote from this berry. Even, relatively speaking, they took currants, poured boiling water over it and gave the child a drink of this water (when it cools down, of course). No problem, they gave me a whole berry.” - advises Dr. Komarovsky.
