Once your baby’s ready, serving watermelon as a healthy snack is beneficial to their growth and development.
The vitamin C in watermelon can help strengthen your baby’s immune system, which can help them fight illnesses like colds and ear infections. The vitamin A in watermelon can help your baby develop healthier skin and stronger teeth.
Speak with your child’s doctor if you have any questions or concerns about giving your baby watermelon, strawberries and oats.
