        sure. Just reduce the black pepper so its not spicy for the baby.
        Hope the little one feels better soon.

    Can this soup be given to 1yr old babies.

      All the ingredients are natural and if the baby has been introduced to lentils, I think this soup should do no harm. But do consult with your pediatrician just to be sure.
