While jaggery contains some iron, it is still mostly sugar.Adding sweet syrups conditions a baby to crave sweet foods early on and distracts them from enjoying the natural, subtle flavors of whole foods.Breast milk or formula already provides all the essential sugars and calories they require.

SGGuardian of a 2 yr 5 m old boy2 weeks agoA. No. Dates are natural alternative to refined sugar, but health organizations strongly advise against introducing any added sugars, including date syrups, to babies under 12 months. Babies' palates are highly impressionable; adding sweeteners can lead to an early preference for sweet foods and cause them to reject nutrient-dense meals.
