Babies and small children cannot eat certain foods, because their bodies are not yet mature enough to properly digest the foods. If you are currently a parent, or will become one soon, it is important to know which foods are safe to feed to your baby and which are not.

So what about raspberries? Are raspberries safe for babies to eat?

It actually depends on how old they are.

Most experts will suggest that you do not feed berries, including raspberries, to your baby until he or she is at least 6-9 months of age. Certain berries can be allergenic, and are also too fibrous for babies to properly digest.
