Spinach: I would worry about the stringy nature of the spinach and chunks of artichoke in a 9mo for choking issues.

Don't waste it: Infants have a poorly developed sense of taste, and no memory of savory foods, so many of the things you appreciate are wasted on a kid that couldn't care less. These complex mixtures are a real problem for food reactions, since it is a mixture of many components.If he breaks out or falls apart, you won't know which part is to blame.Stick with simple foods, and don't be in a rush.

Mgt: I agree that complex mixtures can contain ingredients which are commonly associated with an allergic reaction. These may include seafood, nuts and berries. If the dip is a natural product, homemade and has no added ingredients, it should be fine. Infants with a history of eczema commonly have a history of food reactions.
