Can a five-month-old baby eat mashed potatoes?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Babies can eat potatoes. Potatoes contain a large amount of carbohydrates and also contain protein, minerals (phosphorus, calcium, etc.), vitamins, and more. They can be used as a staple food, or as a vegetable, or as a supplementary food such as French fries, potato chips, etc. They are also used to make starch, vermicelli, and other products.
