I've heard cinnamon is beneficial; when can I add it to my baby's oatmeal or formula, and from which month?

Cinnamon can typically be added in very small amounts to baby's solid foods starting around 8-9 months. However, there are important points to keep in mind:
First, since your baby hasn't tried cinnamon before, there's a risk of allergic reaction. Start with a very small amount (just the tip of a teaspoon) and wait 3-4 days, watching for any reaction before offering more.
Also, there are two types of cinnamon: Cassia (Chinese) cinnamon and Ceylon (true) cinnamon. Cassia cinnamon contains high levels of coumarin, which can negatively affect the liver in babies. Always use Ceylon cinnamon with babies, in very small amounts (just a pinch).
General pediatric guidance recommends waiting until 8-9 months to add spices to solids, but every baby's digestive system is different, so not overdoing amounts and consulting your doctor on first introduction is safest.
