Can a 1.5-year-old child eat yam?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, yam has a very good effect on tonifying the spleen and nourishing yin, and is mainly used to treat spleen deficiency syndromes. If the baby's constitution is balanced, eating yam is not a problem. If the baby usually has loose stools, raw yam is not suitable, and roasted yam can be eaten.
