For a 1.6-year-old baby, it is important to be cautious about introducing new foods like jaggery powder. Generally, jaggery is a natural sweetener made from sugarcane and is considered safer than refined sugar. However, for very young children, including toddlers, it is best to consult your pediatrician before giving jaggery.

Key points to consider:

• Age appropriateness: Babies under 2 years should have limited added sugars, including jaggery, to avoid potential digestive issues or allergies.
• Quality and purity: Apollo Life Cane Jaggery Powder is made from 100% sugarcane juice, hygienically processed, and free from added preservatives, which supports its safety profile.
• Allergy risk: Monitor for any allergic reactions when introducing new foods.
• Moderation: If approved by your pediatrician, give in very small amounts.

Always prioritize your child's safety by discussing with your pediatrician before introducing jaggery or any new food item to their diet. If you notice any unusual symptoms after giving jaggery, seek medical advice promptly.
