Pomegranates contain a high amount of sugars and fiber, and excessive intake may cause digestive upset like diarrhea, nausea, or abdominal discomfort.
Can give alternate fruit if she asks for more than 1 pomegranate

Yes it’s okay to give fruits
But in limited quantity .. because if you give 2-3 fruits a day she might not have normal food as her stomach gets full for food
So try and deviate her give her regular food and in-between give one fruit as snack
Hope it is helpful
