Garlic

6 months and up

⚡ Quick answer

From 6 months, garlic can be added in a small amount and cooked to flavor dishes; because it is sharp, it should be started in small amounts.

How to serve it by age?

6-8 months

Crush a clove of garlic and cook it within the dish; use only a very small amount, purely as a flavoring.

9-11 months

Continue adding cooked and crushed garlic in small amounts to vegetable and meat dishes.

12+ months

You can use it normally in dishes, in moderate amounts.

📌 Watch out for these

  • Use in a small amount because of the sharp taste and possible gas.
  • Raw garlic can upset the stomach; always give it cooked.
