So Paige is an AWFUL fruit eater!  I can't get her to eat hardly ANY fruit!  Well my Mom discovered today that this child LOVES grapefruit.  That is ok right?!  I know it has acid in it and it may make her mouth and her butt sore, but as long as she isn't getting it everyday it is ok right?!  TIA!

    If she likes it and doesn't have any bad reactions then I don't think it should be a problem.  Just keep an eye on her to make sure she's not ODing on grapefruit!

    I think if you buy the canned ones in juice or water, they arent as bad....DD LOVES LOVES Mandarin Oranges and they are far less acidic (and easy to prepare) than a regular orange.

    you should be fine as long as you up her calorie intake. 1/2 a grapefruit a day causes you to lose 1/2 to 1 lb a week with no additional diet or exercise... just watch her weight...

    that's terrible, yet funny... I don't know if I like grapefruit but I'm thinking about it lol...

    PS 1 glass a day is the equivalent

    DD likes pineapple a lot.  I haven't tried grapefruit.  She really doesn't need to lsoe weight though.

    Kate LOVES grapefruit and clementines.  She calls grapefruit "triangles" because of the shape of the pieces I put on her tray.  She's eaten an ENTIRE grapefruit, drank OJ, and eaten a clementine in a day with no problems for mouth or butt.  If she likes it, let her have it!

    DS LOVES clementines, but once we gave him too many and it gave him a horrible diaper rash.  A little citrus is okay!
