Hi,
You can gradually add spices in baby foods after 6 months itself. Please check this link for more details – https://bit.ly/2Un65MR
This can be given after 8 months or can be given by 6 months..
Hi Noor,
If you have already introduced carrot, oats separately at 6 months and your child has accepted the food then you can feed carrot oats porridge at 6+ months if not then you can feed this porridge to 7 months old babies,8 month old,9 month old and so on…
Carrot puree means raw carrot or boiled one?
Hi Arjun,
Steamed carrot puree is added.
