Leek can generally be given to babies from 8-9 months onward, after getting used to solids. When trying it for the first time, steaming it gently in a small amount of water until soft and mashing with a fork to puree form is best. Soup is also a great option — you can cook leek with potato or carrot and blend. But when trying soup for the first time, keep the leek amount small (a teaspoon or two) so you can observe any possible sensitivity by itself. Its fibrous nature can cause gas; making sure it's finely broken down in the first weeks makes baby's digestion easier. Don't add salt or spices.
