Yes - moms have given spinach from 6-7 months with no problems, starting with just 1-2 leaves and mixing it with other vegetables, dal or rice; it may cause slightly greener or more frequent poop that settles.
⚠️ Caution:Introduce spinach in small amounts and watch for any reaction; consult your pediatrician if you have concerns.
Parents (often facing skeptical elders) worry spinach is too strong for a young baby. The community reassures from experience that small amounts mixed with other vegetables are well tolerated from 6-7 months, with only harmless changes to poop.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
I've given it, all fine. I add the puree to dal and rice with no salt or sugar.
Mix it with carrot, potato, sweet potato, tomato, or soaked moong dal. Start with just 1-2 leaves. It has fiber so the baby may poop a bit more frequently but will get back to normal.
I've given spinach mixed with tomato and carrot in a soup since my baby was 6 months. Poop may be green but nothing else happened.
