When can a child start giving beans?
Reading time - 3 minutes.
Bean dishes are healthy and satisfying. But for the gentle digestion of a child in early life, this product is a heavy food that can cause gas and constipation.
Boiled beans crumbs are introduced into the diet no earlier than the age of 2 years. Be sure to soak the beans for several hours and boil thoroughly. For children 2-3 years old, boiled beans are offered in grated form, as part of multicomponent dishes or soups. It is not recommended to give beans to such babies separately, in order to avoid digestive problems.
As an independent dish, beans are introduced only after 3 years. The daily norm of a product in the children's menu should not be higher than 100 g. You cannot feed your child with beans more than 2 times a week.
Canned beans are advised by pediatricians to be included in the children's diet when the baby is 3 years old.
