Not liking avocado?

[maddog37]

I thought all babies like avocado! We tried it today for the first time, he pulled the worst faces. I just mashed it with a fork so there were tiny chunks even though I smoothed it out a bit with formula.

Does anyone else's baby not like avocado? Could it be the lumps and maybe I should use a processor instead of fork to mash? Do you serve the avocado cool, room temperature, or warm? I left it in the fridge for too long so it was still cool at the beginning, then I heated it in the microwave hoping he just likes it warm, but it made not difference.

He's almost 6 months, btw.

I tried giving it to my LO plain and she refused it, but today I spread a bit on a piece of raisin bread with a bit of butter and she ate almost a 1/3 of the piece! I've read about avocado and creme cheese but haven't tried it yet.

If it was the first time he had tried it that might be why he refused, sometimes it takes a while for babies to get used to the flavour and decide if they like it or not. I tried a couple of foods with my LO and she refused them the first couple of times but i kept on offering and now she loves them. I just use it out of the fridge and scoop chunks out and she picks them up off of her tray, i have tried mixing it with cream cheese but she prefers it plain x

It's pretty bland on it's own so you should probably mix something else in - pear is a good one but pretty much any fruit your LO likes. I also add cream cheese, yogurt, tomatoes etc.

Ooh I love it, LO only likes it as a finger food but no more than half of a 'baby' avocado at once anything more will end up dropped onto the floor xx

mix it with a ripe banana it's yummy!!
seriously, the sweetness of the banana, just make sure that avocado is ripe too.
