Table feeders: can you give tomatoes?

teacherjess · March 2009

DD is doing really well with all sorts of fruits and veggies. I picked up a container of organic cherry tomatoes-- can I cube them and see if she'll eat them? She's had tomato-based stuff already, like spaghetti sauce.

I was a little worried about them being too acidic and giving her diaper rash, but we are lucky in that in 10.5 months, she has never even had a slightly red bottom, so I'm not too worried about rashes. But should I avoid them until she's older for any reason?

If she's already had tomato-based things and hasn't had any issues, I don't see why she couldn't have the tomato itself.

My oldest loves them. They give him a rash around his mouth, but it doesn't seem to bother him. He's been eating them since he was about 11 months old.
