How many months can you add seasonings to food for a child?

Patient's question:

Hello, my child is 7 months old and has been eating white porridge for two months. Can I add seasonings to the food?

Doctor's answer:

Four months of supplementary food. Note that only one material can be used at a time. Feed it several times until the child gets used to it, then add another material. Supplementary food must be added too early or too late to suit the baby's age, which will have a negative impact on the baby's health. Adding supplementary food too early can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and digestive disorders due to immature digestive function. Adding supplementary food too late can lead to malnutrition in the baby, and the baby may even refuse to eat non-dairy liquid foods.
