It is okay for children who are at least six months or older to eat watermelon, though you will want to be sure that you slice them as thinly as possible so there is no risk of choking or digestion problems.

Some parents start to introduce melon into the diet of their children as early as six months, though you will want to make sure to watch out for a rash after they eat it; this could be a sign that they are allergic to this particular food.

Make sure that you consult with a pediatrician as to whether or not you can start feeding your child watermelon before you go ahead and do so.
