A. Dear ma’am, need not add sugar, salt till one year. Baby will initially spit not because he doesn’t like the taste but transition from breast to spoon takes time. Your baby needs to get familiar with the new foods. You can add one or two teaspoons of fruit purée to porridge to give natural sweetness

A. Hello mom It contains artificial sugar so there is no need to add any other sugar in it. So you should not add sugar even you have to avoid sugar in any other food of baby. At least till baby turns one year old. Till the time baby should take very less amount of sugar or salt in food. Happy parenting Stay home stay safe
