Can 9-month-old baby eat pineapple—I was really confused about this, what should I do?

Giving pineapple to a 9-month-old is generally considered safe, but the first time requires caution. Pineapple's natural acid content is high, which can cause mild redness or fussiness around some babies' mouths—this is acid irritation, not allergy.
When first trying, give a very small piece (about half the size of a walnut) of ripe, soft pineapple, finely sliced or pureed. Remove hard fibrous parts, and don't leave chunks—choking risk. Offer alone 2-3 days, don't add other new foods so if there's a reaction you know the source. If you see rash, diarrhea, or fussiness around the mouth, wait a while and consult your pediatrician.
If there's a history of allergic reaction (egg, peanuts, etc.), definitely get doctor approval for first try.
