[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are also things you shouldn't make yourself, like spinach and beets.  Some have a nitrate problem that baby food companies can source around.[/quote]

Why shouldn’t you make purées spinach?  Beets are just messy and a root vegetable. [/quote]

NP
Maybe because Some have a nitrate problem that baby food companies can source around.[/quote]

So, wait... all spinach leaves have nitrate?  [/quote]

Some do based on historical fertilizer use, but baby food companies know about this and can correct for it with sourcing and processing.  It was on the sheet I was given by my pediatrician when we started solids.  If you're not careful it can cause a form of anemia.

Seriously if you look at sources from pediatric nutritionists they tell you jarred baby food as fine, as long as you don't lean into the blends that contain carrots and rice.  It's fine OP.

If you read articles that crunch the data you'll find you should avoid certain foods (like rice puffs) but there is no reason to avoid all baby food.
