Avocados
Breast milk or formula

A. You need to make sure that you pick the right avocado: It is important that you look for an avocado that has a firm texture but slightly ripe to touch. The color can be green or dark purple but that doesn't indicate ripeness.

Take one part of the avocado and mix with breast milk or formula to make about 250ml of puree.

Slice the avocado in the middle lengthwise around the seed or the pit. Use a spoon to remove the seed. Scoop the flesh out of each of the side with a spoon.

Mash the avocado with a fork in a bowl for older babies. For a six month old blend it smooth in a food processor. Use water or breast milk/ formula to achieve the right consistency.

You can also mix the avocado puree with bananas.
