Spicy foods

For those making baby's food (either purees or BLW) do you use spices? I always erred on the mild side (like only giving her the middle of blackened chicken). Tonight I gave LO falafel and thin strips of pita spread with homemade tzatziki. It was seriously garlic heavy, and she gobbled it right up!! So surprised! Anyone else's baby loving spicy food?

    My daughter loves spices! I make her mostly purees but I'm starting to try some soft finger foods and I always add spice and she always enjoys things more if they are spicy and more flavorful. 

    I personally love spicy food and I think maybe she's been exposed to the flavors already through BM and that's why she enjoys them more. 

    I'm not shy with garlic or onion in her foods. I've used curry paprika cinammon and any spice I use on our own dishes and she gobbles it up. I hope this means she will be a good eater as a toddler!

    Our nephew (BILs son) is 3 and seems to only like bland food. Pasta, rice, cereal, and pancakes are literally all he ever eats. He will cry over his dinner until his mom gets him something different if it's anything else. I'm terrified of my daughter becoming this way and trying to expose her to many flavors early on.

    I haven't used any yet, I have a baby food cookbook and it lists all sorts and what it pairs with the best!

    He gets what we eat most of the time so it is seasoned. I puréed some pork loin that we had last night and it was seasoned with garlic and salt and pepper and he LOVED it. I couldn't get the spoon in fast enough and he usually doesn't like me feeding him.

    I've fed my LO food with spices such as cinnamon, cloves, ginger etc and he's loved it all.

    LO loves everything from curries to tacos! It's funny, DS1 was the same way, ate just about everything...until he became preschool age. Now at 12 he's still super picky and won't touch anything with seasoning. DS2&3 started out picky but are fairly adventurous eaters now and love spice. Go figure!
