Is coconut okay for 1 year old?
i want to make a special cake for dd birthday party. i found a yummy recipe calling for coconut as an ingredient. any suggestions? TIA -Angela
Coconut is fine as far as I know! My dd had it at that age with no problems.
Personally, I wouldn't do it. Coconut is one of those "exotic fruits." I would think a little one might be sensitive- and it might complicate things later on....
If your child's been on formula, or eaten almost any processed food, she's already had coconut oil ... My guess is it would be okay, but perhaps not to her taste? Ame
