Cauliflower
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Cauliflower is given from 6 months by the same rules as broccoli: well-steamed 'florets' become a puree or finger food; it can cause gas.
How to serve it by age?
6-8 months
Well-steamed and mashed — a mix with potato is well liked.
9-11 months
Soft small florets as finger food.
12+ months
Oven-baked/sauteed cauliflower from the family table.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
Hard, undercooked stalks are risky; cook until the floret part is soft.
📌 Watch out for these
- In gassy babies, give it at midday rather than in the evening, and increase the amount slowly.
