🧂 Seasoning mix
Allergen note
Always check seasoning ingredients for common allergens like milk, soy, or wheat; introduce any new seasonings individually and in tiny amounts to monitor for reactions.
How to serve
For infants 6+ months, sprinkle a tiny pinch (less than ⅛ tsp) into purees or mashed foods. For toddlers, use up to ¼ tsp per serving, mixed into grains, proteins, or veggies.
Preparation
Use only mild herbs and spices like cinnamon or cumin, avoiding salt and sugar, and always cook foods thoroughly before finely pureeing or mashing to a soft, manageable texture.
Texture and choking risk
Always mix powdered seasonings thoroughly into soft, moist foods to prevent inhalation, and supervise closely during meals.
Starting ages are typical guidance for healthy, full-term babies who show signs of readiness. Your paediatrician may advise differently, especially where there is a family history of allergy.
Track first tastes and reactions
Log when your child first tries seasoning mix, note any reaction and see it in the allergen tracker.
