Fruit - is there any not suitable for toddlers?

[LynnC]

Just trying to vary what dd already eats and wondered if any not suitable for a 20m?

Don't think so, but I bet you can't get her to eat a grapefruit or a lemon!

Isn't kiwi one to avoid cos of allergies?

I think that's right about the kiwi - it is an allergen.

mmmmm might be worth a try aDadOnMumsnet

thanks belgianBONES will stay clear of them just incase.

Just a quick one - my dd has eaten grapefriut since she was about 20 months! Try it - you never know....

I'm impressed silverfrog, it took me about 25 years to come round to it! Now I'm practically addicted to grapefruit juice.

My DD had kiwi at 6 months! Surprised to hear that some of you think it's one to avoid.

Kiwis can cause reactions almost as bad as with peanuts I think, but unlike with peanuts, it's not been recommended to avoid giving them to your child, but just to be careful.

chop grapes in half if you are going to give them.

why do you have that kind of capitalisation in your name aDAdOnMumsnet?

Dd came out in a rash after kiwifruit, oranges, strawberries.

twiglett - it would make more sense if my name was DOM... it's not though. Don't know really, thought it helped each word stand out a bit more. Bit of a silly name that I didn't think long and hard about, but have kept...

My Ds has eaten virtually all fruit since 12 months! Kiwi can cause allergies (a friends child reacted badly) but if your dd does not suffer from any other allergies at this stage she should be fine. My DS, now 2.4, will eat virtually all fruit goinga nd would live on it if given the chance. Agree about cutting up grapes when they are little (and orage segments)but have not bothered for the last 6 months or so as he has lots of teeth and chews really well.

no would make sense if your name was DAOM

I keep wanting you to change it to aDADonMumset but don't think that works any better

Mango used to make my dd go hyper but I've never heard anyone else having the same problem.

do you know that is the first time I've noticed that the A is capitalised! Told you I didn't give it much thought!

(anyway, back to fruit - sorry!)

Actually mango maybe has that effect on my dd too - could it be that it is that much sweeter than other fruits when ripe?

Maybe we need to come up with an expression for what happens when you have too much mango, like "she's gone mango-agogo" or something.
