Hello Moms. It's me again. I was wondering if it was okay to feed my 10 month old daughter Fruit Cocktail? I noticed today that it has Pineapple (A Citrus Fruit), although not very much of it. I was just wondering if she was old enough to have it? She eats Strawberries and everything except Tomatoe and Orange products.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for all of you wonderful Moms who help calm my fears and baby paranoia and give such fabulous ideas!

What can I do next?

aside from the sugar issues... My son loved pineapple, but it gave him awful diaper rashes until he was about 2.5 or 3-ish, even in small amounts. It took a while to realize what it was because even in some of the baby food fruit blends it had traces of pineapple. Now at almost 4 it doesn't seem to bother him at all.

As for the sugar issues other moms mentioned, you can find some coctails in fuit juice or we used to by the light syrup versions when we couldn't find that and rinse it in cold water before giving it to our son.

Oh yeah I think it is fine. I used to give my boy these fruit cups but I would just avoid the pineapple bits because of the acidity. He loved it :)

I would absolutely not feed my child this because of the amount of *sugar* - guessing the acid in this is negligible compared to that.

At this age, the best fruit is in its own juices and not all the sugary stuff that they package it with. Actually, that's best at any age, but....
