Oranges
« on: February 24, 2006, 13:58:34 pm »
When can I give my DD oranges?

On Monday my Dad had an orange and mum offered a little bit to DD.  She loved it, she even licked the orange juice off of my dads lips when he went to kiss her  ::).  So I was wondering when to give her a quarter of an orange, as a treat.

It depends on where you live and who you ask, but most of the guidelines I've seen suggest holding off on citrus until 1 yr. Citrus is a common allergen, and its acidity can make it hard on the tummy. HTH!

I agree it is best to wait til one year of age.  It can also be hard on the bum too.  Lindsey gets a bad diaper rash from orange juice/drinks due to the acidity.
