Breastfeeding alone for babies over 4 months cannot meet their nutritional needs, and complementary food can be gradually added. So you can make some prune paste for your baby to eat. It is an acknowledged fact that prunes are rich in nutritional value, and children and adults can eat prunes directly. However, it is impossible for a baby who has no teeth to eat prunes directly, and the baby's gastrointestinal function is not perfect, which is difficult to digest at all. Therefore, it is a good choice to make prunes into prune paste for babies to eat. Prunes are good digestive and constipation-preventing fruits. The puree is fragrant and sweet, and the taste is smooth. Baby eating prune paste can supplement a variety of nutrients.

And prunes can also relieve the baby's constipation. Constipation may occur when you start feeding your baby solid food. At this time, prunes can be mashed into mud to feed the baby, or mixed with cereal to eat together. If the baby's constipation is serious, try adding 1-2 spoonfuls of prune juice to the formula.

How old can the baby eat prunes?

You can eat prune paste for 5 or 6 months, and you can eat fresh prunes over 3 years old. Babies under the age of three are not recommended to eat fresh prunes, and stones are prone to danger. It is also not recommended that the baby eat prune paste too early, because the baby's stomach is not particularly easy to digest these things. When the baby is five or six months old, you can start adding prune paste to the baby as a supplementary food. But at first, you should add less, and the baby can add more without diarrhea.
