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 gave it to my little girl today for the first time but mashed with banana. i've read it tastes really good.
she ate it all up.
 
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.
 
I dont blame her lol, i cant stand it.

I mix it with pear for Niamh
 
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.
