    Notes :
    • It is advisable to introduce potatoes and cauliflower into babies diet once they completed 8 months as they may cause gas if introduced earlier.
    • Generally carrot, potato, cauliflower doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
    • Steaming is a healthy option for baby food than pressure cooking. So I prefer steaming using a Idli pot or steamer.
