my baby loves orange peel

[woozlekin]

DD (7 months) will munch (toothlessly)for long periods on orange/satsuma peel. Will this do her any harm? Or any good??

Unless organic it will almost certainly be sprayed with all sorts of crap

even if organic they are allowed to treat with certain pesticides a number of times a year. I wouldn't eat it or let a child eat it, personally, sorry.

Lol...my dd (10 months) does this also - she loves it.....

it's in marmalade innit?

They are always organic fruits, and I do wash the peel very thoroughly beforehand. Is it that much more dangerous than eg apple peel? I'm relieved to hear that she isn't the only one!
