Baby food with cookie?
⚡ Short answer: Adding cookies to baby food for 6-9 month olds is not recommended because the sugar, salt, and extra calories can make it harder for the baby to develop a taste for natural flavors; rice flour, oatmeal, or vegetable puree are healthier alternatives for consistency.

Baby food with cookie — is this normal, or should we see a specialist?

It's good that you're questioning whether adding cookies to your baby's food is okay. When it comes to eating habits, caution is the best approach.
Commercial baby cookies or homemade cookies have sugar, salt, or extra calories, and mixing them into food can steer your baby away from natural tastes (vegetables, fruit) and build unhealthy eating habits early. If you're trying to thicken the food, rice flour, oatmeal, or vegetable puree is a much healthier choice.
I wouldn't call it "normal" or "dangerous," but it's not a recommended practice. If you've noticed this habit and want to change it, a pediatrician or nutritionist can suggest age-appropriate alternatives. Your baby's natural taste preferences are best developed with simple, plain foods from the start.
If this is something you're seeing happen, and you want to change it, a pediatrician or nutritionist can help you with age-appropriate options.
