Measuring quantity of leafy vegetables

[snowbear]

Hi mummies, I was just wondering how to measure the quantity of leafy vegetables for my darling coz I read that my dd needs to eat at least 3-4tablespoons of vegetables per meal. It's easy to measure vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower but I just dunno how to measure the quantity of leafy vegetables becoz they 'wither' so much when cooked and 'shrink' to a pathetic amount though it looked like a lot before cooking. I dun wanna end up giving my dd too little spinach so I was wondering how the quantity of leafy veggies is determined. Thanks!

Thanks! That's what I used to do but I wasn't so particular about the qty in the past so just chking if i'm doing it right... Anyway, she hasn't agreed to take spinach for the longest time! But she agreed to eat some today... hopefully she can keep it up. Her current craze is broccoli.

lol fickle babies! i always mix jumpy's veg into her porridge(not giving it seperately) thus dunno if she likes them or hates them hee. as long as the taste isnt overwhelming, i think she is ok
