Avocado Help

[Anonymous]

Well tried the avocado with Marisa this morning. Mashed a ripe one up
really well and thinned with some water – and she had 5 ounces of her
bottle first.

She didn’t seem to like it – made funny faces, pushed it away some and
got a bit chokey. She probably did manage 1-2 teaspoons though.
Couldn’t tell if it were more a taste or texture issue. Don’t think
it’s a spoon feeding thing since she WAS on solids about a month back
(pear, cereal) and was OK with that before we had to stop.

I feel badly that her first food in a while she doesn’t like. Should I
try the full four days? Would it taste any better for her mixed with a
little formula instead of water?

I pureed avocado with a little bit of formula mixed in, until it was very smooth. Nate seemed to prefer that texture during the 2 week period in which he loved avocado. Now I can’t get him to go near it.

I didn’t think to puree it. Can I just throw it in the blender? How much formula did you add in per one avocado?

This morning we tried the avocado blended/pureed with her formula and
she seemed to like it! Not as much as the pears last go around but
definitely much more than just mashed with water and ate almost a
tablespoon. Hope there is no reaction – will continue for the full 4
days and I think try carrots next?

Karen – Sorry I didn’t see your post. I don’t remember how much formula I used, just kept adding small amounts until the consistency is really smooth. Sounds like you did fine! Glad Marisa like it.
