I've heard broccoli causes gas; when is it appropriate to give my 7-month-old broccoli, and which cooking method is best?

The gas-producing effect of broccoli actually varies from baby to baby — most babies have no problems. For a 7-month-old, broccoli can be steamed and then mashed finely to a puree consistency. Steaming rather than boiling preserves both nutrients and minimizes some of the gas-producing compounds. Start with just 1-2 teaspoons and observe your baby for 2-3 days — if you don't see signs of gas or discomfort, you can gradually increase the amount. This method helps determine if broccoli causes issues for your particular baby.
