Avocado?

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
I've noticed that a lot of people have posted that they have given their LOs avocado as one of the first solids. Is this a common baby food? I have never heard of giving avocado to a baby. Usually it's bananas, peaches, plums, carrots, etc. Do a lot of babies like avocado? I don't like it so it's hard to imagine giving it to DS, though I want him to try a lot of things as his age permits so he can develop his own preferences.

    I'm not sure what age is recommended. My niece was eating avocados by 6 months though. My sister makes all her baby food and avocado is super easy. We used it for road trips a lot. You can just peel it, smush it a bit, and feed it to them.

    If it is still hard, then it isn't ripe enough yet.  Ripe avocado can be easily mushed.

    We just started solids yesterday and we gave our DS avocado first.  Avocado is a great first food because it has a lot of healthy fats that are important for healthy brain development.  And like pp said it is very easy to prepare.  He was a little tentative yesterday but boy did he love every spoonful today!

    mix bananas and avocado and they will lick it off the spoon.  My DS is only 3 months so he will have to wait a couple of months to try it

    DD1  LOVES avocado and she's 2 1/2 now. I started giving it to her at around 8mos. DD2 has had pears, carrots and oatmeal and avocados next on my list. It's super healthy for them and packs a big punch nutrition wise. I'm not a huge fan of it personally and DH hates it, but DD1 will eat half of one during a meal, and when she was being super picky it was one of the most nutritious foods she would eat regularly.
