Answer

Hello ma’am But you don’t need to figure out as to what is the reason that your doctor has advised you not to give these Fruits to your child because all these fruits  are introduced from the very beginning itself and you are so so healthy to be given from the very beginning itself so first you try to figure out the reason and if it is a valid reason then you start it after the age of one year
