Avocados & Babies
The avocado's smooth, creamy consistency makes it one of the first fresh fruits a baby can enjoy.
Sodium- and cholesterol- free, avocados contain valuable nutrients including 8% of the recommended Daily Value (DV) for folate; 4% DV for fiber and potassium, 4% DV for vitamin E; and 2% DV for iron.
A serving of avocado also contains 81 micrograms of the carotenoid lutein and 19 micrograms of beta-carotene. 
Per serving, avocados have 3.5 grams of unsaturated fats, which are known to be important for normal growth and development of the central nervous system and brain.
