Hello madam,
My baby is 6 months 15 days old, now he is in 7th month. Shall I give nuts to my baby?
Hi,
You can introduce individual nuts in powdered form (please follow 3 day rule). If giving mixed nuts powder, it can be given after 1 year.
Hi ,
I don’t feed my baby either salt or sugar nor jaggery as according to few websites I will included in her diet after she turns one. CAn I feed her with dates ?
Dates syrup is fine, hope the baby is almost 8 months now?
Instead of sugar can we add little jaggery for sweetening for my 7mo
Best to add dates syrup, the recipe is available on the website.
