When can I add caraway and mint to my baby's meatball or soup, do they help digestion?

You can add caraway and mint to your baby's meals from 8-9 months onward in very small amounts, just for flavor. Both spices are traditionally believed to ease digestion — caraway especially is known for its gas-relieving effect — but strong scientific evidence for this effect in babies doesn't exist.
What matters: when giving for the first time, test alone and in small quantity, then wait 2-3 days; if you don't see any allergic reaction (rash, loose stools, discomfort), you can gradually add small amounts to their meals. Daily amount should be about the tip of a teaspoon, as too much can upset the stomach.
Note: complementary feeding hasn't started yet for babies under 6 months, so these spices shouldn't be used.
