Carrots and nitrates?

I was at a party recently and another mom told me that you shouldn't make carrots as part of homemade baby food because of the high nitrate content. I naturally freaked because carrots have been a staple in little guy's diet since the early days of solids (see "make any veggie yummy"). I promptly did some research when I got home and found this statement to be overblown. According to an article from Wholesomebabyfood.com the AAP, homemade carrots and other foods high in nitrates (spinach, beets, broccoli) should be avoided before 3 months of age. Pretty rare that anyone would be feeding solids that early and my fears were put to rest. Bring on the carrots.
