Cherries are definitely good for the body and healthy to eat, but only for children who are 8 months of age or older. It is okay to give cherries to a child that is younger than 8 months if you get the okay from your pediatrician.

One of the best things about cherries which makes them safe for children is that they are not highly allergic and do not contain any pits, but rather a thick skin which can be dangerous for kids.

This is why it is so important for you to wait until your child has reached the right age for you to introduce them to this fruit.
