But is it okay to let a baby eat fresh lemon? Well, Solid Starts notes that it’s fine when they start eating solids. But too much of it might cause a diaper rash or be a bit harsh on their tummies. In fact, kids need citrus because of the vitamin C content that helps humans digest iron. Nevertheless, they recommend people like Carlin Bates should give kids like Layla organic lemon to prevent them from ingesting insecticides.

Is it okay for kids to eat sectioned lemon?

Giving a child a sectioned lemon might be a choking hazard. So removing the pips is a good idea. When kids reach the age of Layla, the outlet notes, “At this age, your baby may enjoy the fun of tasting lemon or limes on their own. To do so, offer a wedge of lemon, seeds removed, and take the opportunity to teach them the word ‘sour.”

Clearly, Carlin Bates’ daughter Layla now knows exactly what the word “sour” means.
