avocado

i want to give monster avocado next, but we're doing store bought puree and i don't think they make an avocado. how do i go about making my own?

 

TIA

Re: avocado

  • That was LO's first food and there is nothing to make.

    Wash the avocado, peel it and mash it with a fork.  I give it to LO in chunks but if you are doing purees maybe you should mash it with a fork.

    How do you give him bananas?

  • I mix avocado and applesauce in the blender.  DD loves it. 
  • Put it in the food processor and go.  Do not steam it b/c it will turn brown/black.  If it is soft enough already, you can also just mash it with a fork.

  • There's not really much to it! You can just mush up some of the avocado. You don't need to puree it or anything. We did try adding some BM to it as well.

    Hope LO enjoys it!!

    How big are the chunks you're giving?

  • i've never really had avocado, how do i know if its ripe?

    The skin will be soft when you push on it.  Just give it a squeeze!

    Squeeze it- you want it to 'give' a bit. About the same amount as a ripe pear or peach. HTH.
