Dr. Keith Ramsey answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Adolescent Medicine

Yes: If it is too spicy then it might cause problems. If it is mild and the baby seems ok afterwards, then that is fine. You might start with a very small amount. I once told a parent not to give chili to their baby. Then a dietitian at the pediatric hospital told them it was fine.
