Question

My baby is 5 months old now. I have just started to wean her. I give baby rice only. Can i give her carrot? I read an article it says carrot high in nitrates. Is it ok to give my baby carrot ?

Answer

Feeding small quantities of cooked pureed carrot to a 5 month old baby will not cause any problems. Babies need a balanced and varied weaning diet so offer lots of different pureed foods. Remember not to add salt or sugar to the first foods you prepare for your baby.
