ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years agoA. hi, avoid adding alternative sweetener initially.
Babies doesn't know sweet or salt taste unless we introduce it. So do not worry the food is bland.
Sweetening of food/porridges are not recommended even it is with fruits, dates, etc because it might become a habit in no time and will be difficult to change

NikithaMom of a 10 yr 9 m old boy3 years agoA. hello you can either add jaggery or you can also be heading fruits which is also a sweetener in the baby food which will help to get the additional taste in the baby food so the baby will also be able to take and also jaggery is rich in iron content and would be the best option instead of using sugar which is not really the option for the kid also
