Signs of a food allergy are facial swelling (including the tongue and lips), skin rash, hives, wheezing, vomiting, and diarrhea. Serve it for three to five days before offering something else new and give it during the morning that way you can monitor your baby for a reaction and know what's likely causing it. When introducing a new food, experts recommend giving it to your baby at home, rather than at daycare or a restaurant. But since any food can cause an allergy, it's good to be aware of signs of food allergies. Oranges and citrus fruits aren't one of the top allergenic foods for children. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant and can help protect your body from cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disorders, and some types of cancer. Vitamin C has a lot of important functions in the body: It helps the immune system function properly supports iron absorption and aids in making collagen, which plays a part in wound healing. Experts recommend babies up to a year old get 40 to 50 milligrams of vitamin C daily, and an orange has almost 60 milligrams of vitamin C on average. Oranges and other citrus fruits are full of vitamin C, so they're a great food for your little one.
