Hi Hetal...

what is the right age to offer papaya. my son is 7 months old. can we offer hin papaya. Hetal replied. if your baby sucsfully accepted the first line of fruits,,, boiled apples, ripe bananas,ripe or boiled peaches, ripe or boiled pears,boiled apricots, you can introduce papaya,and other fruits like melonssss,offer it ripe and mashed !
make sure that papaya does not give heat rashes,,like mango,,some kids have tendency to have prickly heat rashes with these fruits...check the same for pineapple ! it takes around 24-48hours and in some cases if you are offrng in 2 consecutive days,,it might give heat rashes,,so make sure to balance it well, and go slow !
whenverr you offer papaya,make sure you dont offer peach or mango or apricot on the same day ! they all belong to same category of hot foods,,so make your introductn part easy,,balance it with cool foods,like banana or offer papaya with some banana based juice(if not the fruit in itself,,but with combination of banana and someother fruit juice,,base juice will be banana ! )
all citrus starts from 8months complete...
