Avocado may not be the first food that comes to mind when you’ve finally decided to introduce solids, but is actually great as a first food for your baby. Ok, you can’t serve it to your kid alongside corn chips and salsa, but it’s still delicious and full of nutrients. In fact, it’s so nutritious and fatty (a medium size avocado...
