Can a 6-month-old eat tomato? Everyone around me says something different.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Tomato is generally okay for a 6-month-old, but start carefully. Tomato is an acidic fruit — some babies get a light redness or diaper rash around the mouth from the acid; this isn't an allergy, it's acid sensitivity. Still, trying it alone in a small amount the first time, well-cooked, as a puree is best. Skin and seeds removed. Watch 3-5 days and add no new foods; if you see a rash, diarrhea, or fussiness, talk to your pediatrician. At this stage, the general rule is: each new food one at a time, and wait between them.
