There are several vegetable groups to watch for when starting complementary feeding. Especially in the first 6-8 months (the first 2-3 months of complementary feeding), spinach, chard, beets, celery, arugula, watercress, and green cabbage are considered risky because of their high nitrate content — I don't recommend these early on. Similarly, eggplant and raw garlic/onion may be harder to digest and are typically delayed.
Beyond these, most vegetables (squash, carrots, potatoes, sweet potato, broccoli florets, peas) are good for first vegetables — test each one individually and wait 2-3 days to monitor for allergy. An updated pediatric recommendation list is worth getting from your child's doctor if you want current guidance on safe starter vegetables.
