A. Dates are packed with energy and are a great food item to include in your child’s diet when they start on solids. They are a good source of minerals like iron, calcium, sodium phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and zinc. They also contain vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, Vitamin A, B6 and Vitamin K.https://parenting.firstcry.com/articles/dates-for-babies/

A. Jaggery, called gur in Hindi, is unrefined sugar made from sugarcane juice or a date palm sap. It is made by boiling the sugarcane juice or date palm sap until it becomes a thick syrup, and then cooling it until it solidifies. It is used in both sweet and savoury dishes in several South-Asian countries, including India. Jaggery is used in India as a sweetener in baby food. This article explains in detail the benefits and risks of feeding your baby jaggery. https://parenting.firstcry.com/articles/jaggery-gur-for-babies-benefits-risk-and-recipe/
