A. Yes, you can give chia seeds to your 9-month-old baby, but in moderation and with proper preparation. How to Give Chia Seeds to a 9-Month-Old? ✅ Soak them – Always soak chia seeds in water/milk for at least 2-3 hours before feeding to prevent choking. ✅ Mix in foods – Add to porridge, mashed fruits, yogurt, or homemade baby food. ✅ Start Small – Begin with 1/4 teaspoon per day and observe for allergies. Benefits of Chia Seeds for Babies ✔️ Rich in Omega-3 – Good for brain development. ✔️ High in Fiber – Helps prevent constipation. ✔️ Good Source of Calcium & Iron – Supports bone and overall growth. Precautions: ❌ Do not give dry chia seeds directly, as they expand with moisture and may cause choking. ❌ Avoid if the baby has allergies or digestive issues. ❌ Too much can cause loose motions due to high fiber.
