Spinach

mrsnala · July 2013

Anyone introduce Spinach? What age? I read somewhere not to start until 10-12 months, but I feel like alot of the pouches have spinach as an ingredient. Any reason to wait?

DS is 6.5 month old and has been on solids since 5 months.

The only thing we are holding back on is honey, nuts, and whole milk. But still give food with whole milk as an ingredient. We do BLW.

We did spinach in purees starting at about 6.5 month.

I mix spinach and kale into other fruit and veggie purees. Started at 6 months and it's been fine.

DS has also had spinach in some of the mixed veggie purees. No problems, and it's a good source of iron.

I think they just suggest to serve it fresh because of nitrates. Perhaps some people wait because it may cause gas or isn't as easily digested as others. I think it's fine to serve though.
