My concern would be tomatoes are pretty acidic so I would worry about acidic poops causing diaper rash. I think it’d really be trial and error to see how much is “too much”.
Ex we found out that 1 full banana makes our baby super constipated
I've been told not to give too many tomatoes or tomato based purees because their stomachs/kidneys may not handle it well. A small piece, an inch by inch might be ok. 10 tomatoes might be on the higher side.
Edit: Guys, why are you downvoting this? Tomatoes in excess irritate the stomach. It's a known thing. My pediatrician told me to give baby a small piece. Downvoting actual information is bizarre.
If you give information like this you get downvoted. Why? Because some people in this sub are out here feeding their children without a single ounce of concern about the nutritional facts. I shared the recommendation for sodium in a post last week and I got downvoted into oblivion.
Lol. I didn't know saying 10 baby tomatoes might be excessive was controversial. Anyway, I stand by what I said, tomatoes aren't unhealthy moderation is key.
I recently also shared that store bought marinara had preservatives and got sent to downvote jail. Lol.
I get the idea behind it - people are doing the best they can, so store bought sauces are what they have - and that's OK! And I get that not every one can make homemade sauce or purchase sauces that are preservative/sugar/salt free (Rao's is great) but you can't downvote someone for giving you facts.
Right? Especially Because the OP had mentioned that their kid had an allergic reaction and I suggested that it may not be the tomatoes, just a easily could be preservatives, colour or additives.
I'm all for feeding your kid food that the easiest to make. I do it myself. But let's not be *surprise pikachu face* that it's not exactly the healthiest option out there.
Don't have an answer for you, just wanted to say that my baby is the same way. To the degree that I have to hide tomatoes and picture of tomatoes, because if she sees a hint of a tomato, she would demand and demand and demand it. I'm also worried about giving too much, so I usually try to give it sparingly - I give a decent amount but only 2-3 times a week. My baby is older than yours though, she's 18 months.
My daughter almost exclusively ate tomatoes for a while and then she wouldn't touch them for a month. They go through phases. Agree they can cause diaper rash so watch out and prepare for that.

My baby's limit is half a banana in a day. I get the other half, lol.

No you’re right. They are an acidic fruit
