Avocado is the first baby food that has a lot of health benefits. It is also considered equivalent to the nutrients in breast milk. Rich in vitamin C, E, K & B6, magnesium, potassium and loaded with fibres making it a superfood for babies and toddlers.
My kids love avocado without any added salt or lime in it. But if your’s is not a big fan of its bland taste, you can make it tastier by adding lime and a pinch of salt (for babies above 12 months). This quick easy flatbread recipe is extremely soft and makes a great finger food for babies 6 months and above. It is not only good for babies but for postpartum moms who are looking to lose weight, this is a great option.
