Avocado Revisited


I'm pleased to announce that Chubbs has grown rather fond of avocado. After several days of trying and changing tactics to help him enjoy this food more, my persistence has paid off. He can now polish off a large slice (1/8 of an avocado) and even asks for seconds! It could be partly because avocado is an acquired taste and it took him a while to get used to the (green) look and oily feel to it. I mixed in some breast milk to make the consistency a little smoother (milkshake?), so it's more palatable for him. And for his evening semi-solid feeds, I stir in some brown rice cereal together with the milk to make the meal more substantial. He's a happy little camper again :)

 "Can I have more, please?"
