For a 6-month-old, vegetable starting usually begins with soft, low-allergy options: carrot, potato, squash, and sweet potato. Cook until very soft and puree smooth. Broccoli, cauliflower, peas, and spinach can be added, but must be cooked very well and pureed until lump-free.
After trying a new vegetable, wait 3-4 days before trying another; this way you know which food caused any allergic reaction. A little olive oil added helps flavor and fat-soluble vitamin absorption.
Remember: this stage is discovery, not filling up. Portions are small. If your baby rejects a vegetable, don't force — try again in a few days. If you see rash, diarrhea, or digestive trouble, take that vegetable off the list for a while and ask your pediatrician.
