I heard avocado is very nutritious, can I give it as one of the first foods to my 6-month-old?

For a 6-month-old baby, avocado is a very suitable and nutritious option to start with at the beginning of complementary foods. Its soft texture allows your baby to easily mash it without chewing effort, and it's rich in healthy fats and potassium.
For the first serving, choose a very ripe avocado, peel it, and mash thoroughly with a fork into puree consistency. You can taste it alone (no salt, lemon, oil) with just a teaspoon initially. Although allergy risk is low, when introducing a new food, I recommend starting in the morning with a small amount and following the single food rule for 3-5 days.
If you see any rash, swelling, or loose stools, stop using it and consult your pediatrician.
