Question
Can a seven-month-old baby drink pomegranate juice, especially can the baby eat the pomegranate seeds?
Answer
The time for a baby’s teeth to grow varies from child to child, generally between 4 to 8 months. If a baby’s teeth are slow to grow, it may be related to a calcium deficiency, which is not directly related to pomegranate juice. In such cases, it is recommended to check for trace elements and supplement calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients reasonably, while trying to reduce the consumption of pomegranate juice. Pomegranate has a function of astringent and anti-diarrheal, and long-term consumption may lead to constipation. There’s no problem with sweet pomegranate juice, but acidic juice may cause some degree of erosion to the teeth.
