Avocado Baby Food
Avocado is perhaps one of the simplest purées to prepare for your baby. All you need is a ripe avocado and a fork to mash it with.4 Alternatively, for babies doing baby-led weaning or those who previously had purées but are ready for finger foods, there are many ways for them to enjoy. You can use a crinkle cutter to cut slices baby can hold. You can also dust the outside of the avocado with finely ground breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, crushed Os cereal, or similar foods to make it easier to hold. Mashed avocado can also be mixed with cooked quinoa or canned salmon (without bones), for example.
