Can a one-year-old child eat yam?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's generally good for adults to eat some yam regularly. But for children, never force them to eat it, especially when they are only one year old—make sure they eat very little. Because yam is excellent for strengthening the spleen and stomach, but at the same time, it can also be quite greasy. Children will definitely not be able to handle too much of it. If they eat only a small amount each time, it can be beneficial to eat it regularly. In short, it's absolutely essential not to overdo it or force them.
