We started solids this weekend, starting with avocado. Yesterday she didn't eat much just mushed it everywhere. Today she ate her whole serving, she loved it! I've been mashing it up and mixing it with breastmilk until it's creamy texture, and that seems to work well.
Re: Avacado is a hit!
That's great! It's so good for the little ones. Gavin is a super picky eater but still at almost 2 years old he will never turn his nose up to avocado (I'm probably jinxing myself right now). The nice thing about it is later on when they are able to feed themselves you don't really have to worry about them having trouble with it b/c it is so soft.
A tip in case you didn't know - I don't know if your DD will take it cold but the avocado keeps for much much longer if you put it in the fridge as soon as you buy it.
