My baby can already eat complementary food. I feel bitter gourd is very nutritious. Can the baby eat it?

    Babies are not very suitable for eating bitter gourd, the oxalic acid in bitter gourd will hinder the absorption of calcium in food. Therefore, before eating, bitter melon should be blanched in boiling water to remove oxalic acid. Babies who need to add a lot of calcium should not eat too much bitter melon.
