Avocado for babies

  • From 6 months

Avocado is a soft fruit you can introduce once your baby shows signs of being ready for solids, usually around 6 months. Major health organizations recommend starting solids at about 6 months, though guidance varies slightly.

Avocado provides fat (mostly monounsaturated), fiber, potassium, and vitamin E.
