Does a 6-month-old baby eat tarhana (fermented wheat soup)?
⚡ Short answer: Traditional tarhana isn't suitable for 6-month-olds because of salt and fermentation; try unsalted, plain vegetable soup as a safer alternative after talking to your pediatrician.

Does a 6-month-old baby eat tarhana — my mother-in-law says one thing, I read something else.

Traditional tarhana isn't usually recommended for 6-month-olds — both the salt content and the fermentation process are concerns. The fermentation creates unpredictable bacteria, and bottled tarhana usually has a lot of salt, which can strain a young baby's kidneys.
A safer alternative: You can try a simple unsalted, no-spice broth or yogurt soup (basically yogurt thinned with water or a tiny bit of very finely ground grain like rice) if you want to make something special. But classic fermented tarhana — the kind adults eat — is better to wait on.
Your family's way and your way don't have to be the same. After talking with your pediatrician, you can make decisions that feel right for your baby.
A note: this isn't medical advice — talk to your doctor about what your baby should eat.
