Technically, this isn't a recipe. It's more of a set of instructions to prepare the most delicious and nutritious first food for your baby. Make sure that you wash the outside of the avocado VERY well before cutting, and, as always, if your baby is under 6 months old, be sure to sterilize EVERYTHING used in preparing and serving the baby food.
You need:
1 ripe avocado
1 oz. breast milk or formula
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop half of the avocado into your puree-er of choice. Add breast milk or formula and puree until smooth. If you are preparing this for an older baby, you won't need the added liquids, so just mash up the avocado. If he or she will eat the entire avocado over the course of three days or so, place the other half in an airtight container to mash up later. If you are preparing this as a first food for a younger baby, who might only eat a few tablespoons each day, make a BALT (Bacon, Avocado, Lettuce, and Tomato) sandwich for yourself with the other half because 1. They are AWESOME, 2. the other half of the avocado will get all brown and funky before you can use it, and 3. you probably didn't have time to eat anything today, so you have to eat something.
