When can you start adding condiments or seasonings into your baby's food?

Question

Answer

Whenever you start solids. It’s best to prepare food as you normally would. That way baby can get used to your cooking right from the start.

Answer

We started adding spices to our baby’s purees at about 6 months, but only to food that he has had previously. Our doctor said it’s a good idea to let them try different spices, apparently it helps them to not become picky eaters.

Answer

6 months

Answer

As long as there's not added sodium & as long as it's not "hot", I was told by my pediatrician that I could spice baby's food similar to how we eat ours at 6 months. I just used smaller amounts & I started with spices around 7 1/2 months. Pinterest has some good ideas too.

Answer

I make about 80% of our food from scratch so can control exactly what goes in it so I just give my baby a bit of what we have. He had veggie bolonaise this evening for dinner with us and he loved it! I doubt I’ll be adding condiments for a while though, they’re pretty gross when you have a look at the ingredients and I’d rather he didn’t eat stuff like that till he’s old enough to ask for it
