Weaning: Introducing spicy food
Hi everyone, I'm planning on starting weaning my LO when she is 6 months and I would like to introduce spicy food early (of course in a very small dose). Has anyone tried this before? If so, how did your babies handle it? At what age did you introduce spicy food?
Thank you in advance ☺

I did and he’s eating a lot of spicy meals even more than I expected now. I started with very lil quantities of course in tastier foods like moin-moin. I also started giving him amala and ewedu and will mix lil stew in the ewedu Gradually, i moved to rice - jollof rice, rice and stew. And now he doesn’t mind eating a reasonable amount of spicy meals. In all, I’ll say just go at your child’s pace. If she cries, then you know you have overdone it initially and it needs to be even lesser 😄

@Temi Hi Temi, what age did you start introducing those foods? My husband was talking of giving our son pounded yam when he was two months old 🙄 I'm still not sure if he was joking or not 😂
Same as above.
