Spinach?

LenMontLenMont
in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
I was feeling adventurous with my steamer tonight while making some batches of baby food so I tossed some frozen spinach in and then pureed it with some squash. After it was done, I remembered that I read something about no spinach until 10 months or something.  Sure enough, wholesomebabyfood.com says to wait until 10mos. Other places say it's fine. So, all-knowing bumpies, wdyt? Does Charlie get the spinach/squash puree or do I toss it?

    Wow, I didn't know that.  I have been giving Parker spinach since he started solids and other than green poop, there have been no effects.

    I've definitely given DS foods before the official month mark of when you are supposed to. I haven't tried spinach with him so I don't know of any specific issues, but if I were you and went through the effort of making it, I'd probably try it and just wait a few days to make sure there's no reaction. You could also freeze some and use it in a month or so when you think he might be able to handle it better.

    I don't think it's an allergen--it probably has more to do with potential GI issues. I'd think. But then again, WTF do I know?

    wholesomebabyfood.com says it's a nitrate issue. Other places say that after 6mos they can handle the level of nitrates in frozen spinach.
