garlic
« on: April 06, 2006, 08:28:08 am »
Hi mums,

I would like to know if the garlic is suitable for 11 months old baby.  We often use garlic and my ds likes it too. But I have read somewhere that it isn't good for babys. What do you think about it?   Thank you.

I have never heard that it was bad for the lo's! My dd*1 regularly had garlic from about 9 months and she still loves it to this day and she never had any problems. In fact garlic is great for killing bugs etc.  Im sure my bf dd*2 will love it too....she has been having garlic milk for ages!!!!

Hi Dana,

Garlic is fine for babies, and they absolutely love it.  I've given my seven month old small pieces of garlic bread.  He absolutely loves it.

I always gave elsa low salt versions of our food (lots of garlic),and she loves it! In fact I read somewhere that garlic stimulates the appetite: that's definitely the case with her. be prepared for smelly breath though  :)
I breastfed and always eat lots of garlic, chili etc so think that's maybe why!
