How to prepare each food
Avocado
A ripe avocado is one of the easiest first foods. Peel it, remove the pit, and mash the soft flesh smooth, or leave it slightly lumpy as your baby gets used to texture. You can also offer a thick finger-length wedge to hold and gnaw on. It is naturally soft and squishes easily between two fingers.
Smooth or lightly mashed, or a thick finger-length wedge to self-feed.
Avocado is soft and low-risk, but a very ripe one is slippery and can be hard for little hands to hold. Mash it or coat pieces lightly to help with grip, and always keep portions soft enough to squish between two fingers.
Prune
If using whole dried prunes, check carefully for and remove any pits, then soak or simmer them until very soft and blend into a smooth puree. Prune puree is a gentle way to add fiber and can be thinned with a little water, breast milk, or formula. Offer a small amount on its own or stirred into oatmeal or yogurt.
Smooth pitted puree, thinned if needed.
Dried prunes are sticky, dense, and chewy, which makes whole or large pieces easy to swallow without chewing. Soften them by soaking or cooking, remove any pits, and serve as a puree or in small soft pieces.
Putting it together
Mashed avocado and rehydrated prunes blended into a smooth mousse.
