POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Yes, you can introduce a very small amount of deseeded green chili to your 11.5-month-old daughter's meals if she enjoys slightly spicy food. Since she is already showing a preference for the spices adults eat, introducing a mild spice in moderation can be fine. However, here are a few considerations to keep in mind:
1. **Start Small**: Begin with a very small amount to ensure she tolerates it well and to monitor for any adverse reactions, such as a rash, upset stomach, or discomfort.
2. **Deseed and Remove the Veins**: The seeds and veins of the chili are the spiciest parts. By removing them, you reduce the heat level significantly.
3. **Watch for Reactions**: Keep an eye out for any signs of irritation or allergic reactions, such as redness around the mouth, excessive crying, or digestive issues.
4. **Introduce Slowly**: Introduce the chili gradually and not in every meal. This helps in assessing her tolerance over time.
5. **Pair with Mild Foods**: Mix the chili with mild, well-tolerated foods to balance the flavors and ensure she still receives a variety of nutrients.
6. **Monitor her Digestion**: Spicy foods can sometimes cause digestive issues like gas or an upset stomach, so watch how she reacts after eating.
It's great that you're considering her tastes and slowly incorporating the family diet. Just ensure that any additions are done carefully and in moderation. If you have concerns or if she experiences any discomfort, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician.
