coconut oil for healthy fats?

mommasqueak · August 2013

i drink a fruit smoothie in the morning, and add a healthy dose of coconut oil for health reasons.

our 15 month old daughter used to love avocados when she was very little, but around 8 months old decided she didn't care for them anymore.

is there any reason why i couldn't let her have some coconut oil in the purees i make for her reusable pouches? (don't worry she eats plenty of solids, i make veggies pouches with yogurt for snacks for her)

basically, is there any reason why a 15 month old couldn't have coconut oil?

TIA

We add coconut oil, olive oil, and butter to DS's food all the time to add extra fat. I usually put coconut oil with fruits or sweet veggies and olive oil with savory veggies and meats. I add coconut oil to oatmeal sometimes, too.
