2.MUSIC- make them listen lively songs and rhymes ,children love music and movement.engage them in music.

 .
9.USE SPECIFIC VOCABLARY-be clear and to the point .child is more likely to respond appropriately if u tell them "put your cup on the table " rather than " put it over there".

mango tango

MANGO TANGO- When Can Baby Have Mango? Age for Introducing Mango: (as early 6-8 months) 8-10 Months



The Goodness of Mangoes:

Mangoes are loaded with Vitamin A and contain a higher level of carotenoids than almost any other fruit. These carotenoids are said to reduce the risk of cancer as well as heart disease. Carotenoids are also thought to be successful in warding off the common cold.

Mangoes are low in fat, low in calories but very high in fiber. You will also find lots of Vitamins C and B in Mangoes as well as iron, potassium and protein.

When can I introduce Mango to my baby?

Like Papayas, Mangos are tropical fruits and their age for introduction is varied from 6 months and older to 8-10 months being the average recommended age. While mangos may make a great first food, they are probably not good to use as THE first food.
MANGO (one cup - sliced)
VITAMINS:
Vitamin A - 1262 IU
Vitamin C - 45.7 mg
Vitamin K - 6.9 mg
Vitamin E - 1.85 mg
Folate (important during pregnancy) - 23 mcg 
MINERALS:
Potassium - 257 mg
Phosphorus - 18 mg
Magnesium - 22 mg
Calcium - 16 mg
Sodium - 3 mg
Also contains trace amounts of zinc, iron, manganese and copper.

Are Mangoes Allergenic?

Mangos may be allergenic as many tropical fruits often tend to be. They are not know to commonly cause life threatening allergic reactions however. The type of allergic reaction a Mango may cause is typically topical or dermatological.
A person who has an atopic reaction to Mango will find a rash much like that of poison ivy or poison oak. The rash may occur when the affected person comes into contact with either the sap from the Mango tree or from the skin of the fruit itself. The allergen itself resides in the skin/peel of the mango and not within the actual fruit itself. Eating the mango "meat" or pulp will not cause the rash to get into the throat or tummy per se but if the oleoresin from the peel/skin has touched the Mango "meat", a rash may erupt around the mouth.
Some sources say that a Mango allergy may in fact cause a rash around the bottom as the mango is digested and passed through.

Choosing and Storing Mangoes


When selecting mangoes, give the fruit a gentle push with your thumb. The fruit should be slightly soft and a bit fragrant. Mangoes can be green or reddish orange and even golden-yellow-orange in color. The skin should have a uniform color and show no signs of bruising or have little brown dots on it. Mangoes may be ripened at home on your counter.

Does Mango Need to be Cooked for Baby?

When introducing mango to baby, you should not need to cook (steam) it if it is ripe and soft. If your baby is younger than 8 months old when you decide to introduce mango, you may wish to steam it gently to help break it down.

How to Cut A Mango:

Cut the mango lengthwise, along the side of the mango pit. You will be cutting off its flesh from one side then repeating the same process on the other side. You will then cut the ends off the mango pit.
