From how many months can I give ginger to my baby? Should I wait because it's so strong?

Ginger's sharp aroma and compounds like gingerol it contains can cause digestive sensitivity in babies. General pediatric opinion recommends against ginger as a complementary food before 12 months. After 12 months, you can try very small amounts (a pinch, just the tip of a grater) to flavor foods, but it shouldn't be given on its own or in large amounts.
Especially between 6-12 months, babies can experience stomach upset, gas, and diarrhea. If you're thinking about giving your baby ginger, I strongly recommend checking with your pediatrician first.
