From what age can I add garlic to my baby's soup, will the smell or sharpness bother them?

Garlic can generally be added to baby's soups from 8-9 months onward, when your baby is used to solids and starting to explore different flavors.
Adding a very small amount (about a quarter of a clove) well-cooked during cooking significantly softens its sharpness. Cooked garlic has a much milder taste than raw and most babies tolerate it without problem.
Garlic smell doesn't bother babies; they've already been exposed to various flavors through breast milk as mom ate different foods. Still, observing your baby's reaction during the first try is worthwhile. Starting with a very small amount and noting your baby's response is recommended.
