Avocado in a child's diet

Let's start with the main thing: a child can eat an avocado, but not earlier. 1 year. Since this fruit is exotic for our country and does not occupy a central place in the diet (although very useful), then you should not rush to feed your baby with it. After 3 years, it is already possible to introduce avocado into the child's diet.

What are the avocado keys for a child

1. Contains vitamins A, B, C, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, potassium. It develops the child's brain, nervous and cardiovascular system.

2. The structure of the avocado is tender and buttery, which kids love.

3. Avocados do not need to be cooked, they are eaten raw.

4. The fruit is low in sugar.

At the same time, there are also disadvantages that should be taken into account:

1. The product is allergenic, especially the peel. In addition, it is treated with chemicals so that it does not deteriorate during transportation.

2. Too much fat can disrupt your baby's digestive tract.

3. Avocado seeds are quite poisonous - they need to be kept away from the child and carefully removed from the pulp.

How many avocados can a child give?

For the first sample, half a teaspoon is enough a couple of times a week - then you need to look at the body's reaction.

You can eat avocados raw - children are not prohibited. You can crush the pulp into a paste and spread on bread or serve in slices.
