my kids all loved avocado. you can just mash up a really ripe one and add some formula or water to thin out if the consistency is too thick.
YES! about avocado!
as for apricots: are you buying them fresh? or going from dried? I wouldn’t go from dried…first of all they’re sulphered and second of all, well, just seems like a hassle? can you find jarred apricots or do the jars contain sorbitol? maybe try finding frozen apricots at the health food market?

Lastly, do you recommend a baby food grinder or just regular blender or mini Cuisinart ok?
pineapple always seemed to acidic to me…I’m a wimp though, and barely gave jonah anything acidic, even after being med free
for the apricots- I’d steam them to get them soft and then puree & if the puree is too thick, then I’d add the water from the boiled water underneath the steamer basket to thin
I gave Jonah a lot of papaya (we’re in tropical miami, so it seemed suiting- plus I did it for the enzymes)- I steamed it just a bit at first and then just mashed it up ripe- I was scared to give it ripe at first…
I used a mini cuisinart and then I started making large batches with the regular cuisinart- with the large batches I had 2 other friends w/ babies the same age, so I’d split up the large batch 3 ways and they also made food and split it- we had a little baby food co-op going
…my friend used her blender and there were times for small small batches that I used the babyfood grinder- so to answer you, use whatever you feel like
