Avocado Day: How to Safely Feed Avocados for Baby-Led Weaning


Listen Later

Avocados are the ideal first food for baby-led weaning. That’s because when ripe they are the perfect texture for starting solid foods, you can cut them into strips that babies can pick up and self-feed and avocados are packed with nutrition. In this episode we’re celebrating National Avocado Day with a rundown of how to safely feed babies avocados for baby-led weaning. 


Listen to this episode to learn:
  1. How to expedite ripening of your avocados
  2. How to safely cut an avocado so you don’t slice your hand
  3. How to serve the avocado to your baby whether you’re doing a pre-loaded puree approach or diving into solid strips of avocado for baby-led weaning
  4. How to preserve the leftover avocado to feed again in the future and prevent browning
