If you make your own babyfood.....

Have you given LO broccoli, and if so at what age?  Was there any issues with gas? 

I have some frozen organic broccoli in the freezer and was going to fix it up for LO, but just wanted to see how others reacted to it.

    I'm curious too - we have sooo many orange veg and not a lot of green yet. I made some broc on Sat but DD was teething big time Sun/Mon so really only had a few bits on Sunday.  She wasn't gassy, but probably only had 3 bits...

    have you done spinach?

    I think M was about 7 or  8 months old when I gave it to her. We were actually out to eat and my steamed vegies had some in it. I smooshed a few of the tips with my fork and gave it to her - she loved it. She didn't have any issues with gas.

    We haven't done spinach - I read something about being careful w/spinach & carrots because of the nitrates?  I have done peas and green beans, though and they worked out very well.  Of course, LO eats anything and everything.  The peas she was a little hesitant at first because of the texture, but she got used to them.

    If you steam the spinach and toss the water, it is OK. The nitrates go out with the water.

    I gave M broccoli around 2.5 months.

    He didn't have spinach until two weekends ago when we shared spinach ricotta ravioli at a nice Italian place.  Big Smile

    I gave Fiona broccoli around 7 months. She had no problems with gas.

    Margaux has had broccoli for a while now.  She likes it, but yeah, it gives her pooty pants.

    I think I may have given her organic pre-made babyfood with broccoli the first time she had it at around 7 or 8 months or so, but since then I have mashed it up and put it in a few things and she doesn't seem to have any more gas than usual.

    Matty LOVES broccoli.  No problems with gas but we also eased into it.

    After all this excitement about broc, I pulled a cube out for her last night and she loved it!  And no pooty pants!

    Yay!

    Frankly, I think Margaux is just a "pooty pants" kind of girl.  :)
