Day 1 of Cauliflower

Cauliflower (like other veggies in the same family such as broccoli and brussel sprouts) is packed full of phytochemicals which are said to help prevent cancer. A cup of cauliflower is packed with Vitamin A, Vitamin C and even calcium! Cauliflower is a great addition to a healthy diet. Cauliflower is not a good choice for one of Baby's first vegetables. It may cause gas and may also be a bit difficult for a young infant to digest. Cauliflower is best given to an infant between 8-10 months old. If your baby has had any digestive issues, it would be best to introduce cauliflower into the diet later rather than sooner!

Today is the first day I am introducing cauliflower into my boy's porridge. Just like broccoli, I added the cauliflower towards the end of the cooking.
