how to feed avocado for 6months baby?

Answer 1

Just buy a fresh avocado, scrape out the insides and mash it up. If you feel it needs to be thinned a bit, mix in some expressed breastmilk. (I would just hand express right into the bowl.)

Answer 2

You will of course need a ripe avocado (soft to the touch when squeezed). Once the avocado is removed from the skin and pit I blended it up until it was smooth (no lumps for new eaters). To make it the consistency of stage 1 jar baby foods I added 1/2 cup of water to 1 avocado and mixed it all together. I saved an empty jar of baby food to use as a measuring cup. Then I portioned it out into small plastic cups (either glad-ware or ziploc brand 4 oz storage snack cups that are about the same size as a jar of baby food) to freeze individual portions. Sometimes a little of the water would separate from the avocado when thawed, but that's not a problem. I hope that this helps.

Answer 3

Just cut it in half or quarters and let the baby self-feed. Obviously remove the skin and pit.

You can mash it VERY fine and spoon feed, however self-feeding is safer.

A baby can not place food in their mouth, chew it, and move it back with their tongue far enough to swallow until they are ready to swallow. Spoon-feeding is more dangerous as you can place the food far enough back that the baby is forced to swallow whether they are developmentally ready or not.

Won't he choke?
Many parents worry about babies choking. However, there is good reason to believe that babies are at less risk of choking if they are in control of what goes into their mouth than if they are spoon fed. This is because babies are not capable of intentionally moving food to the back of their throats until after they have learnt to chew. And they do not develop the ability to chew until after they have developed the ability to reach out and grab things. Thus, a very young baby cannot easily put himself at risk because he cannot get the food into his mouth in the first place. On the other hand, the action used to suck food off a spoon tends to take the food straight to the back of the mouth, causing gagging. This means that spoon feeding has its own potential to lead to choking – and makes the giving of lumpy foods with a spoon especially dangerous.

It appears that a baby's general development keeps pace with the development of his ability to manage food in his mouth, and to digest it. A baby who is struggling to get food into his mouth is probably not quite ready to eat it. It is important to resist the temptation to 'help' the baby in these circumstances since his own developmental abilities are what ensure that the transition to solid feeding takes place at the right pace for him. This process is also what keeps him safe from choking on small pieces of food, since, if he is not yet able to pick up small objects using his finger and thumb, he will not be able to get, for example, a pea or a raisin into his mouth. Once he is able to do this, he will have developed the necessary oral skills to deal with it. Putting foods into a baby's mouth for him overrides this natural protection and increases the risk of choking.

Tipping a baby backwards or lying him down to feed him solid foods is dangerous. A baby who is handling food should always be supported in an upright position. In this way, food which he is not yet able to swallow, or does not wish to swallow, will fall forward out of his mouth, not backwards into his throat.

Adopting a baby-led approach doesn't mean abandoning all the common sense rules of safety. While it is very unlikely that a young baby would succeed in picking up a peanut, for example, accidents can and will happen on rare occasions – however the baby is fed. Rules of safety which apply in other play situations should therefore be adhered to when eating is in progress.

They have little mesh feeders out now that you can stick food in and your baby can chew on it and still get the juice and the flavoring from the fruit, but not fully eat it and risk choking. Target and Wal-Mart both carry the feeders.
