A. Yes, you can introduce a mix of avocado and banana to your 7-month-old baby. Both are excellent sources of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals that support your baby’s growth and development. Avocado is rich in healthy fats that promote brain development, and banana is a great source of potassium and fiber, which aids digestion. When introducing this combination, ensure it is mashed to a smooth consistency to avoid any choking hazards. For babies between 7 to 12 months, you can start offering a variety of solid foods in different textures as they begin transitioning from breast milk or formula to more solid meals. Here's a simple food list: Pureed fruits: Apples, pears, peaches, mangoes, and berries. Pureed vegetables: Carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, pumpkin, and spinach. Soft-cooked grains: Rice, oats, and quinoa, either as porridge or mashed. Mashed vegetables: Avocado, potato, or pumpkin. Soft proteins: Well-cooked chicken, fish, or lentils, pureed or finely chopped. Eggs: Scrambled or hard-boiled (ensure they are cooked well to avoid any risk). Whole grain cereals: Fortified baby cereals mixed with breast milk or formula. Yogurt: Plain full-fat yogurt, introduced as a healthy snack. Finger foods: Small pieces of soft fruit, soft vegetables, or toast strips that baby can pick up and feed themselves. Always ensure the food is prepared appropriately for their age and stage, and remember to introduce new foods one at a time to monitor for any signs of allergies.
