I have given dd Avocado 3 times now. She literally coughs and gags after each bite. Even if I try to sneak it to her after giving her a favorite food like pears. It's kinda funny, actually. Anyway, I don't want to be a mean mommy, so should I give up on Avocado or try later? I recently read a parenting magazine article that urged parents to persist, but that seems harsh! Is be pissed if someone shoved onions into my mouth every other day ::shudders::

I'd stop and reintroduce it at a later time. Just my 2 cents.

I read somewhere to mix it with banana.  I tasted it and it's not half bad.  My dd hates avacado, but she'll eat it mixed with banana.

Mine does the exact same thing. Every. time. Puree it with some banana - that's the only way mine will eat it. He loves it.

DS will do this when I try to give him something that has a little thicker consistency.  Maybe mix it with some water?

I also recommend mixing it with banana.  If that doesn't work just wait a while and try it again.

our DD did exactly the same thing.  (& mixing with banana didn't help)

I tried it mashed, pureed, lumpy, smooth, it didn't seem to matter, she gagged.  Then I just gave her a slice to hold & gum herself (I watched really closely to make sure she only was getting little tastes).  She really liked it that way.
