To a 6-month-old baby's vegetable puree, adding 1-2 teaspoons (about 2-5 ml) of cold-pressed, quality olive oil daily is generally considered appropriate. Olive oil contains healthy fatty acids and vitamin E, contributing to baby's energy needs and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. I can't recommend any specific brand; when choosing, it's enough to make sure it's natural and additive-free. When adding for the first time, you can start with a small amount and observe baby's reaction. Even if just starting solids, this amount is generally considered safe, but if your baby's doctor hasn't discussed any special situation, you can use this measurement.
