We used spices from about 7-8mth with Dom but we were just careful not to use too much, after all babies have a lot more taste buds than we do! I used garlic and herbs before I used the more earthy spices like cumin and corriander.]]> Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:45:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25632&PID=655837&title=adding-spices-to-babys-food#655837 <![CDATA[Adding spices to baby’s food : Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. She has been on and off solids since 4 1/2 months but only once a day and we have been gradually increasing the amount. She's certainly had a good variety of first foods.

I got a baby and toddler cookbook from the library to get inspired, and there was one suggestion of potato, pea and mint puree ... it used fresh mint and I have tried that with her and she really likes it. So maybe I will get her onto the garlic and spices once she starts eating meat (we plan to do that from 7 months).

Thanks again.]]> Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:37:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25632&PID=655051&title=adding-spices-to-babys-food#655051 <![CDATA[Adding spices to baby’s food : Joels had curry powder and garlic...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25632&PID=651296&title=adding-spices-to-babys-food#651296 Author: LeahandJoel

Joels had curry powder and garlic in his food so far...in saying that though he eats anything so didn't think we would have an issue. If I had more imagination I would put other things in but I never think of them.

I'm starting to do it now cos I want him exposed to a range of flavours at an early age.]]> Thu, 02 Apr 2009 10:06:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25632&PID=651051&title=adding-spices-to-babys-food#651051 <![CDATA[Adding spices to baby’s food : Henry pretty much eats what we...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25632&PID=651011&title=adding-spices-to-babys-food#651011 Author: angel4

Henry pretty much eats what we eat although we don't use a lot of spices because my stomach can't handle them. He eats the same meals as us mostly. When did you start him on solids? I would wait until hes been on them a few months before doing anything with heaps of flavour. He will get used to it pretty quick. But id be worried about upsetting their lil tummies. ]]> Thu, 02 Apr 2009 09:06:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25632&PID=651011&title=adding-spices-to-babys-food#651011 <![CDATA[Adding spices to baby’s food : How early can you start adding...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25632&PID=650998&title=adding-spices-to-babys-food#650998 Author: mountaingoat

How early can you start adding spices and herbs to baby's food?

I know sugar and salt are not recommended,but I would like babygoat to be exposed to other different flavours from a young age. When I'm cooking for my husband and I, I use stuff like cinnamon, cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic, basil, oregano, turmeric, paprika, caraway seeds etc. quite often.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!]]> Thu, 02 Apr 2009 08:51:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25632&PID=650998&title=adding-spices-to-babys-food#650998
