Is it ok to give fruits like honeydew, grapes etc to babies? Older generations say that these are 'cooling' fruits. Telling me not to give first till they are older as it will cause phlegm and cough.

I gave my 1yo fruits like dragonfruit (pretty tasteless to some folks) and papaya and mangoes and avocados. Grapes and honeydew I think are fine. Just peel skin of grapes to play safe? Cut to small pieces and small chunks?
