✅ Safe Spices for 8-Month-Olds (in small amounts): Turmeric (haldi) – Anti-inflammatory, good for immunity. Cumin (jeera) – Aids digestion; can be added to khichdi or porridge. Asafoetida (hing) – Very small pinch; helps relieve gas. Coriander powder (dhania) – Mild and aromatic. Fennel seeds (saunf) – Can be added to water or boiled in porridges. Ginger (adrak) – Fresh, grated in small amounts; good for digestion. Garlic (lahsun) – Cooked and mashed into food; boosts immunity. Cinnamon (dalchini) – A pinch in porridges or purees; adds natural sweetness. Cardamom (elaichi) – Sweet-smelling spice, great for porridge or fruit puree. Carom seeds (ajwain) – Helps with gas and colic; use boiled water or tempering. ❌ Spices to Avoid: Chili (red/green), black pepper – Too spicy, can irritate baby's gut. Salt – Should be minimal or avoided until 1 year. Garam masala or spicy blends – Too harsh for babies. Mustard seeds, clove, nutmeg – Wait till 10–12 months or later. 💡 How to Use: Add a pinch while cooking khichdi, dal, porridge, or vegetable mash. Start with 1 spice at a time, wait 3 days to watch for allergy or reaction.

Mild spices are ok to use but not necessary. It’s good to use tadka ( ghee/ olive oil/ coconut oil) though - adding oil will boost calories Focus on introducing a variety of of fruits, vegetables and grains slowly. Let the baby experiment with different textures and flavours - aim to offer food cooked for the whole family by 1 year of age but in a form the baby is able to chew/ swallow
Next Steps
Avoid chilli/ black pepper and hot spices
Health Tips
Avoid salt and sugar till 1 year of age
