A. Plum candy, such as Talmishri Plum Candy, may not be suitable as a sweetener for baby food, especially for an 8-month-old baby. Plum candy typically contains added sugars and other ingredients that may not be appropriate for infants. It's important to introduce solid foods to babies gradually, starting with single-ingredient purees and mashed foods and gradually progressing to more complex flavors and textures. When sweetening baby food, it's best to use natural sweeteners such as mashed fruits (e.g., ripe bananas, apples, or pears) or unsweetened applesauce. Adding processed or sugary foods like candy to baby food may not only introduce unnecessary sugars and additives into your baby's diet but may also affect their developing taste preferences and dental health. If you're looking to add sweetness to your baby's food, consider using natural ingredients like fruits or vegetables that are suitable for their age and stage of development. Always consult with your pediatrician or a registered dietitian if you have any questions or concerns about your baby's diet or feeding practices.
