Question
Can babies eat lettuce?
Answer
Hello, babies can eat lettuce, but precautions should be taken regarding hygiene and safety. Lettuce is a good source of nutrition, rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, since lettuce may contain residual pesticides or bacteria, it is important to ensure it is thoroughly washed before giving it to babies. Additionally, since babies’ digestive systems are not fully developed, it is recommended to chop or cook the lettuce before feeding it to them. If your baby has already adapted to other vegetables, gradually introducing lettuce can be a good start, but please pay attention to your baby’s digestive condition.
