          Do not add honey to the baby’s soup. Babies under the age of 2 cannot digest honey i believe.

    1. 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.

  1. @Annu Mathew Haha Nice comment.

    Same story here.

    Lovely website. Everything is perfect, layout, recipes… everything.

    Glad I’m here.
