Question
Hello, my child is now nine months old, and I would like to ask if they can eat chives?
Answer
Your baby can eat chives, but they must be cooked before consumption and should not be eaten in large quantities to avoid mild vomiting. Chives are rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, and high in vitamin C. In traditional Chinese medicine, they are believed to enhance Spleen and stomach function and are good for gastrointestinal health, making them a very good food for babies. However, since the baby’s spleen and stomach function is weak at this time and their absorption capacity is poor, it is easy to cause constipation and other symptoms, so precautions should be taken when eating.
