Can LO have cantaloupe?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
DH brought two home, all excited for it to be a new fruit for DD this week. I said, "Can she have cantaloupe at this age?" He looked at me like, "why ever not?" But I've never heard of giving it to babies. Maybe it's too acidic? Anyone know one way or the other, or have any experiences with it? It's not on the homemade baby food site that I use as a food to avoid, so maybe it's fine? FYI...DH is a new doctor, and isn't even questioning it. Oyy. LOL!

    Us too, but her tail started growing after we gave it to her. I'm not sure if it's related.

    I gave my 1st DS cantaloupe all the time to teeth on.  He would knaw on it and suck the juices till it was white.  I was going to introduce this to LO this weekend.

    It's fine. Makes a great food since you can mash it up. Honeydew and kiwi are good too. Good job DH!

    You're probably fine to feed cantaloupe. However, I had really bad reactions to it which just developed in the past year. I love it, but my lips swell up and my whole mouth gets itchy. I read up on it and it seems to be connected to a ragweed allergy and not a food allergy. But that is just according to Dr. Google, and unrelated to infant food allergies anyways.

    I pureed it and mixed it with oatmeal.  She just didn't like it.  :)
