No, oranges and other fresh fruits are best for children, they are better than juice that way the child will have more fiber in his diet instead of filling up on liquids.

They can be, for example if given before 1 year, if pips are not removed for young children, or if too many are eaten. There is a very helpful article at:

Otherwise, of course, oranges are great, but juice can often be an easier way to get the goodness of fruit into children.

No, oranges are not bad for children. Just be careful if they are small children as they can choke on the pulp. Also, if they are still in diapers, the acid can cause a rash so just be careful how much they get.

yes, all fruit is great. Just be careful with the amount the children eat. oranges like other fruit are high in acid and can cause irritible tummies... But do eat them just eat plenty of other healthy things too!

I have never heard of a fruit that was not good for children, unless they were allergic to it.
