Question
The 5-month-old baby has been crying a lot recently and has poor appetite. Can they eat durian?
Answer
It is possible to give a 5-month-old baby durian, but it is recommended to juice and dilute it first. Especially if the baby has a hot constitution, eating durian in moderation may help cool down the body. However, if the baby is more delicate, reduce the amount consumed. Moreover, regarding the baby’s sleep disturbances at night, this may be related to the weaning process. Babies of this age may be deficient in calcium, leading to sleep issues. It is suggested to supplement calcium for a period of time and observe for any improvements. If the discomfort is related to the pacifier, it may be necessary to gradually get the baby accustomed to life without a pacifier. You can slowly remove the pacifier while the baby is sleeping, and over time, the baby should gradually adapt. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
