Garden Cress
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Garden cress can be given from 6 months, well washed and finely chopped in small amounts; since its sharp, slightly bitter taste is strong, introduce it little by little.
How to serve it by age?
6-8 months
A small, well-washed, finely chopped amount; sprinkled over a puree or yogurt to add flavor.

📌 Watch out for these
- Because it is eaten raw, wash it very thoroughly; it is important to clean off soil and germ residue.
- Its sharp taste may be rejected by some babies; mix it with familiar foods and give it little by little.
