My pediatrician told me to avoid spicy foods when my son was first starting to eat table food. At what age do you think it's ok to start? I have given my son a taste here or there, and he really seems to like it, so I want to give him some spicy food- not extremely spicy, but a little. What would be the negative effects of starting too early?

i've heard endless amounts of advice from various health visitors and pediatricians but nothing beats experience i recently was talking to my friends mother about weaning and she told me when my friend startedeating solids she ate all sorts that was not advisable this included spicy foods which she liked alot as far as i see there has been no bad affects to her health minus her love of take away currys now. in my opinion nothing is terrible in moderation
