At one year and ten months, can babies eat seasonings?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

A 4-month-old baby can now eat complementary foods and can be appropriately added with some seasonings like oil, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and scallions, garlic, etc. However, spicy seasonings should still not be added. The baby's diet should be light, as excessive seasoning can burden the baby's kidneys.
