Spices in purées?

Question

My son is 4 months and we were cleared for purées. I’ll be making them at home. Question: would you put any spice in the purées? Maybe cinnamon in the apple purée or garlic in the green bean purées. Or would you wait until 6+ months. Thanks!

Answer

I'd wait til 6mo to feed my baby anything, regardless if they're cleared at 4mo.

Answer

I would wait. Have the baby try the food plain to make sure there’s no allergy. That way just you add a spice you know it’s the spice and not the food I’d they did have a reaction.

Answer

Try it plain to watch for allergies, then try again with a spice added. The only thing is you want baby to enjoy the flavors of the food without spices first. :)

Answer

Honestly even though they cleared it I'd still wait till 6 months, my health visitor has gave me the go ahead from 17 weeks. I was naive with my first and weaned at 4 months with puree foods and he is the most fussiest child ever with food, it also made him drink less milk at that age because he was eating, which their formula/breastmilk is more important than food before 1. I did baby led with my 2nd at 6 months and I loved it, I go by the food is just for fun before 1 rule and dont panic over what theyre eating and how much as long as they are still having their milk, I'll be doing baby led again this time and I cant wait. Obviously it is 100% your choice when you wean, I wasnt saying any of this in a judgy way, just my experience from weaning early 😊 but if you do do it now I'd hold  off from the spices just yet and let them get a taste for the food without it first xx

Answer

I’d wait

Answer

I wouldn’t, I plan on just doing plain for now
