When is it ok to give tangerines / clementines to babies? Can't find any mention of it in AK or GF, & I thought you were supposed to be careful with citrus.

think there's also the choking risk. suggest you make sure you cut up the segments

I make clementine juice for my 16m old and add water, it makes it less tangy. She loves it, clementines are sweeter than oranges.

Thanks for replies - think I'll leave it for a while then.

DS2 has been scoffing these from about 12/13 months. I peel and then bite one end off before giving it to him. Word of warning though - they make for very unpleasant poo!
