Absolutely!
Avocado is actually a great first food. Bananas, avocados and sweet potatoes are the very first foods recommended by La Leche League.
Very healthy!

Absolutely!
Avacado is not only soft, easy to chew and easy to digest but it's extrememly healthy for you.
I love avocado and eat it all the time :-)
Avocados have 4 grams protein, 10 grams fiber,2 mg iron, 22mg calcium.....etc. PLUS good amounts of vitamins B and C .

Sure. Our kids were eating table foods at 6 months, and avocados were a favorite: yummy, soft, nutritious, and very little risk of choking.

Yes, you can give a 6 month old avocado. La Leche League recommends avocado as a first food.

Yes! I make all of my own baby food and you can start avacado at 6 months. I put one in the blender with a couple drops of lemon juice to help the taste and to keep it from oxidising and she loved it. Give them everything you eat or they could be a picky eater!

Absolutely! It's a great first food. Soft, and full of good fat for your baby. I gave my daughter smashed avocado at 5 months and she's been loving it ever since. :o)

Avocado has lots of good fat in it - it is a great food for a baby to eat.
My daughter wouldn't eat it, though.

Avocado is great! Cut up into bite size pieces is really great for them, especially with their ability to mush foods. Great choice!

A 10 month old can choke very easily on little pieces of food. I'm sure it's ok to try avacado to see if he likes the taste, but I'd mash it up first (like if you were going to make guacamole).
