LIke Papaya, Mango is a juicy 

  • Tropical fruit that many babies (at least 9 months old) enjoy.
  • The health benefits of papaya in baby food include supply of numerous vitamins and minerals, aids in digestion, kills intestinal worms, strengthens the immune system and acts as a natural laxative.
  • Papaya is one of the best fruits that can be given to your child for his or her better health. The fruit contains numerous health benefits which come from the vitamins, minerals and the active biochemicals.
  • Each baby is different as far as their development goes, so you only want to use this as a guide.
  • There’s no reason to rush your baby into any foods they’re not ready for, as they’ll be ready for it all in due time. You’ll probably find that papaya is not the first fruit you end up giving them, as other staples like apples and bananas will likely have found their way to the head of the line.
  • But the soft texture of papaya definitely adds to its digestibility and many babies will enjoy the taste.
  • Papaya contains antioxidants and a good amount of fiber to keep your baby healthy and regular. Overall we weren’t able to find anything that says that papaya should be avoided, or that it contains things that are harmful for your baby.
  • Just to be sure you wouldn’t want to give them a large amount of it at one time,
  • but that’s the same with most first time foods.
