Someone told me that spinach is not good for babies because of nitrates. So I did some google search and found out there are veggies that have higher nitrates level, but it should be ok for babies 6+ months. There is another source saying that when spinach is left in room temperature, its nitrate level rises. Therefore, if it's not eaten immediately, freeze or put in the fridge.
Here are a few sources:
