What to serve with avocado and eggs for your baby 

Serve it with fruits 

I like adding some side of fruit to my baby’s breakfast, no matter the meal.

Since avocados and eggs are softer textured, you can serve them with some grated apples.

This will contrast well with the texture of the meal.

You can also serve it with tart fruits like strawberries, grapes, etc. Any fruit will do.

Serve it with mild salsa

To give this avocado and egg some Mexican flavor, serve it with mild salsa.

Your baby will love the savory combination of peppers, tomatoes, and spices.

Serve it with a side of toast

I love serving eggs with toast for my baby. This helps me ensure I’ve added some carbohydrates to their meal.

Carbs help babies feel full longer, so they can have the energy to play.

How to properly serve Avocado Scrambled Eggs For Baby-led Weaning 

6 – 9 months old

You can serve avocado scrambled eggs for babies in a bowl. Babies between 6-9 months old will better scoop food from a bowl with their hands.

10-12 months old

Once your baby is between 10-12 months, they may be ready to learn to use a fork. So I suggest feeding them avocado and egg scramble with a preloaded fork. 

12 months plus

Toddlers older than 12 months can be given a fork to feed themselves with. At this age, they should be practicing independent eating with utensils.

Tips for Picky Eaters

Don’t pressure

Give your baby or toddler a chance to say no. It’s okay if they don’t like what we serve them. Keep trying. 

It takes at least 30 exposures for a baby to begin liking a food, so don’t give up.

Make it into a game

Sometimes I create games around the food I serve to get my kids interested in eating. 

A game we’ve played in the past is called “Here comes the airplane… open the garage”. This encourages them to open their mouth as I bring the food in like an airplane.

Sometimes my kids will try new foods this way.

If it does get cold, you can reheat it in the microwave for a few minutes on high.

Just add some freshly chopped avocados on top of the eggs after reheating.
