Are store bought veggies safe to babies?

[Tatasmum]

The thought doesn't let me sleep.

My baby is turning 6 months soon. I'm planning to cook veggie purées myself. Are store bought veggies safe? Or do I need to hunt for bio organic clean veggies (do such exist?).

When I was a baby my mom cooked using our own grown vegetables. Nowadays city life makes it impossible...

Of course they are. What do you think the majority of the population eats?

Anything that is well washed will be fine. Don’t be too anxious about what other people tell you, if it seems unrealistic to achieve it probably is.

Course they are. That’s what a massive percentage of the population eats. If you’re worried though, you can boil them all instead of steaming etc.

a carrot is a carrot.

I always used the same veg that me and DH ate from about 16 weeks onwards (it was the 1990s). Market veg, supermarket veg, frozen veg, veg off neighbours with allotments etc. All fine.

Wash it your baby will be fine

Awww

I’m afraid only hand knitted vegetables made of woven lentils are truly baby safe.

I should have added :D all these jarred veggie purées say that they use organic veggies grown without pesticides, nitrates, etc. So I assume "adult" vegetables are grown using the above.

Every time I have sex, I sow another row of potatoes, just in case.

All supermarkets have an organic veg section. If you're worried, buy only veg from that section.

What do you eat?!

Also, look up Baby Led Weaning and save yourself the hassle of making the purées.

Yes vegetables are safe. Adults don't want to be poisoned either.

Take a UV light to the supermarket with you. Don't buy anything that glows. Everything else is safe.

They're absolutely fine. Vegetables are vegetables.
Don't stress the small stuff

Make sure you sterilise the vegetables first!

In the kindest possible way I think you should pay a trip to the gp. If this is genuinely causing you anxiety that it is affecting your sleep then you need to deal with that.a

In 18 months time, when your toddler refuses anything for dinner but macaroni cheese-without-the-cheese and peas (but the peas can't touch the macaroni ) and a slice of bread and butter, you will look back on this time and laugh forlornly at the memory of getting any veg at all inside him by choice.

OP, veg from anywhere is fine, if it doesn't glow, all the better .
