Question
Is it suitable for a 6-month-old baby to drink vegetable juice blended in a blender? Can I give her honey? Which brand of honey is considered the best?
Answer
It’s best not to give a 6-month-old baby raw vegetable juice. A baby’s digestive system is not fully developed, with delicate gastrointestinal mucosa, rich blood vessels, and underdeveloped intestinal muscle, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction. As for honey, it’s not suitable for babies because it may contain trace amounts of bee venom that could be harmful to their health. It’s recommended to choose foods that have been boiled or cooked for the baby’s diet. Regarding the best brand of honey, this may vary by region, so it’s advisable to choose a reputable brand.
