Hello…My baby is 11 months old and she has only one teeth which is appearing in the lower jaw. Can she have the pancake? Or can we blend the pancake in blender and may be then feed her?
Dr Hemapriya says
Baby’s gums can chew the basic foods, so you can give tiny pieces of pancakes without grinding 🙂
Nina says
Can I use oil instead of butter, for dairy-free option
Dr Hemapriya says
Yes dear, you can use oil instead of butter 🙂

Nice recipe! Can we use palm sugar instead of applesauce.?
pr says
Hi Susan,
Thanks, Palm sugar or jaggery can be added, if baby is above 1 year of age.
Dhara says
Can i use Jaggery in place of apple sauce?
pr says
Hi Dhara,
Yes you can add jaggery but jaggery can be added only for 1+ year old babies.
Dhara says
Hi.. Can we use Jaggery powder in place of apple sauce? If yes then how much would it be OK to use?
pr says
Hi,
Jaggery is not supposed to be given for babies below 1 year. You can use purees of apple, papaya, banana, but the taste may vary.
