Black spots on my baby's teeth

My baby was born on 16 May 2025. I have noticed multiple black/dark spots on both the upper and lower front teeth and am concerned whether these are cavities, stains, or an enamel problem. He takes NAN PRO 3 formula milk and daily supplements (D3 Must, Gemcal P, and A To Z NS, 1 ml each). His diet includes dalia, dal, apple puree, banana. Could you please advise: 1. What could be causing these black spots? 2. Do these look like cavities that need treatment? 3. Could formula milk, night feeds, diet, or supplements be contributing? 4. Should I take him for an in-person dental check-up urgently? I have attached a photo for reference.
