It turns out that ordinary things can be poisonous to a baby. You should always avoid at least 8 foods if your child is between 0 and 1 year old.
And even if your child is just over 1 year old, it is absolutely not recommended to give these things. If in doubt, consult with a doctor.
Because the scariest thing that can happen is that your child cannot chew something properly.
8 things that are toxic to a baby
Here are some foods considered potentially harmful to babies:
Honing: Do not give honey to babies under one year old because it may contain spores of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism in infants.
Nuts and seeds: Whole nuts and seeds pose a choking hazard to babies. Instead, give them in the form of nut butter (make sure it’s free from added sugar and salt).
Milk and dairy products: Cow’s milk is generally not recommended for babies under one year old because it is harder to digest and lacks certain nutrients found in breast milk or formula.
Eggs: Introduce eggs slowly, starting with well-cooked yolks and avoiding feeding raw or partially cooked eggs due to the risk of salmonella contamination.
Salt and sugar: Avoid adding salt or sugar to a baby’s food because their kidneys are not fully developed to process excessive amounts of salt. Babies also have no need for sweets. Even though it sometimes seems nice to let your child taste something, don’t do it.
Sharp foods: Avoid giving spicy foods, such as hot peppers, to babies due to the risk of stomach and intestinal irritation. So never share spicy food with your little one.
Small hard foods: Avoid small hard foods that can pose a choking hazard, such as whole grapes, nuts, seeds, and hard candies. You should also never give things like smarties to a baby.
Fish high in mercury: Limit your intake of fish high in mercury, such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish. Instead, choose fish with lower mercury content, such as salmon or tuna.
