Can a 9-month-old baby eat spinach?

A 9-month-old baby can safely eat spinach. At this stage, your baby can tolerate spinach that's been cooked until very soft, pureed, or passed through a food mill.
Important points: When offering spinach for the first time, start with a small amount (1-2 teaspoons) on its own. Spinach contains high levels of nitrates, which is why it's not recommended for babies under 6 months; by 9 months, this risk is significantly reduced but it's still good to introduce it thoughtfully. Cook it fresh and use it the same day — spinach that's been stored develops higher nitrate levels.
If your pediatrician hasn't advised otherwise and your baby hasn't shown allergic reactions to other foods, pureed steamed spinach is safe.
