Question

Can infants eat animal liver?

Answer

Yes, but it should be consumed in moderation and thoroughly cooked. Liver is an excellent source of nutrients, particularly for blood and brain health. However, it’s important to cook it thoroughly to avoid parasites. Additionally, since liver is the organ that processes waste, it should not be consumed in large quantities. There are many causes of pediatric liver disease, so if a child is diagnosed with liver disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for prompt treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and establish good hygiene habits. Parents should also avoid allowing their children to develop picky or fussy eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
