Can a 6-month-old child eat vegetable juice raw?

Patient's question:

Can a 6-month-old child eat raw vegetable juice? It's the vegetable juice blended with a blender. Can she eat honey? Which brand of honey is good? Additional question: Can she eat slightly boiled vegetable juice?

Doctor's answer:

It is best not to. The digestive system of young children is not yet fully developed. The gastrointestinal mucosa is delicate with rich blood vessels. The intestinal wall muscles are underdeveloped. This makes it easy to cause gastrointestinal dysfunction: the secretion of digestive glands, the acidity of gastric juice, and the content of digestive enzymes are all relatively low. Improper diet, such as eating too much, too greasy, or too cold food, frequently switching to new foods, or consuming spoiled food contaminated with bacteria or toxins, can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction.
