Patient's question:
Can newborns drink bitter melon juice? The older generation says it's better to start with bitterness, meaning it helps remove fetal toxins. I don't know if it has any effect on the baby.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the information you provided, it is absolutely crucial not to give newborn babies bitter melon juice. Newborn babies should only be fed with colostrum and milk; they cannot digest anything else. You must remember this. The idea that bitter melon helps reduce jaundice lacks scientific evidence and should never be given to children. It is essential to remember that for babies who have not started on solid foods, all such dietary therapies are unsuitable.
