When Can You Add Spice to Baby Food?
Are there any spices to avoid in a baby’s food?
Some babies with sensitive stomachs, or who have conditions such as reflux or other digestive problems, might not tolerate nutmeg, ginger, garlic and curry. Make sure to add no more than a teaspoon of spice to their foods and if you have any questions about herbs and spices, or if your baby has digestive problems, talk to your healthcare professional first.
It’s important not to add salt to baby food. An infant’s kidneys are immature and salt is too hard for them to process. (Even adults don’t need any added salt in their diets!)
