Can a 9-month-old eat watermelon?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Yes, a 9-month-old can eat watermelon. Watermelon is a low-allergy fruit, and at this age babies are usually transitioning from purees to soft, tiny pieces. Always remove all seeds and serve in pieces small enough that your baby can easily mash them with their gums — not big enough to be a choking risk. First time offering, follow the single-food rule: give only watermelon and wait 2-3 days to watch for reactions. Because natural sugar is high, a piece or two small cubes per day is plenty.
