Can I add spinach to my 9 months old baby's porridge everyday?

I add spinach in addition to other ingredients such as carrot, pumpkin, meat (pork chicken or fish). Will having spinach everyday be harmful to baby? Heard that spinach is high in nitrates.

Too much spinach can cause diarrhea or loose stools. So maybe do it on alternate days or once every few days. At least 1 veg per day is good enough for baby’s developing disgestive system. If you have carrot already, don’t need to add spinach. 1 meat, 1 veg, 1 carb, 1 fruit is ideal.
