Proud Momma

in May 2012 Moms

I tried DD on solids for the first time this morning and she did awesome! We did avocados as her first food and she loved it! There was almost no mess until mommy decided to let her play with the bowl and spoon lol. 

And as a side note/update to my last post - Daddy even got up with us this morning without me having to wake him up :D

very happy momma this morning!

    Big Smile  Addie did avocado two nights ago... I kinda don't mind the mess of letting her feed herself.  It's cute!  And she loves it!

    Avacado was a hit with my LO too.  I think he enjoys anything not blah like oatmeal and not formula for a change.

    Can someone enlighten me on how to pick a good avocado? I have eaten them before but never prepared one myself. I was going to pick one up today but it was really soft. I am assuming it was over ripe. Should they give a little or a lot when they are ripe?

    dark green, wrinkly skin

    some give but not mushy

    and if you break the little stem off, it should look light green and fresh, not brown underneath

    I puree it and then mix with cereal and formula. DD loves oatmeal though while other babies may not. We mix all our solids with rice or oatmeal. You could use puree it and thin it with formula or BM.

    i mashed it with a fork and mixed in expressed breast milk until it was thin but not runny. I used frozen the first day... I froze it in ice cube trays (so about a half oz per cube) and same with the breast milk. 1 oz avocado to about 1 oz BM was pretty runny so today I used abou 3/4 oz BM and it was better.

    I'm not introducing cereal for another month or two. I'm doing avocado, then peas, then sweet potato, then squash and only mixing with BM. Most cereal is empty calories IMO so I will introduce them last. I'm also planning to skip rice and just go to oatmeal.
