Yes, 9-month-old babies can safely consume kiwi. Kiwi is a nutritious fruit rich in vitamin C and fiber.
When offering kiwi, keep these points in mind:
- Choose a very ripe and soft kiwi; if it's too tart, your baby may reject it.
- Peel the skin and either mash it with a fork (not quite a puree, but soft pieces) or offer very small pieces.
- If trying for the first time, start with a small amount (a teaspoon or two) and watch for allergic reactions (rash around the mouth, swelling of lips/ears) for 2-3 days.
- The natural acidity in kiwi may cause mild redness around the mouth; this is usually temporary and not considered an allergy.
If your baby has had previous allergic reactions or has eczema, consulting your pediatrician before introducing a new fruit is wise.
