Safety Information
How to Serve Avocado Butter to a 6–9 Months Old
Serving Instructions
For babies just starting solids, avocado butter is easy to digest and nutrient-rich. Serve a very thin layer (about 1/4 teaspoon or 1.25 ml) on a piece of soft, age-appropriate bread, or mix into mashed foods to add healthy fats. Aim for a variety of flavors and textures at each meal, with avocado butter contributing heart-healthy fats alongside iron-rich foods, fruits, and veggies. Offer once daily as part of a balanced meal.

How to Serve Avocado Butter to a 9–18 Months Old
Serving Instructions
From 9 months, serve avocado butter in slightly larger amounts (up to 1/2 teaspoon or 2.5 ml) spread on soft finger foods or mixed into warm cereals, purées, or mashed legumes. Let your child self-feed to practice independence. As always, balance the meal with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and proteins. Avocado butter can be included up to twice a day, but keep portions small to prevent filling up on fats.

Serving Instructions
Toddlers may enjoy avocado butter in more diverse ways. Serve up to 1 teaspoon (5 ml) at a time, spread on whole-grain crackers or fruit, or mix into bowls of grains and yogurt. Still, portion with care to avoid filling up on fats and maintain a varied, balanced plate with sufficient protein, fruit, and vegetables. Avocado butter can be a daily menu item.

When to Talk to Your Pediatrician
Every child is different, and your pediatrician knows your baby best. If your baby has known allergies, was born prematurely, or has any feeding difficulties, consult your doctor before introducing new foods. If you ever observe signs of an allergic reaction — such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical care immediately.
Important Safety Disclaimer
Every child develops chewing and swallowing skills at their own pace. The preparation methods shown are general guidelines; you must always evaluate your individual child's ability before serving. By offering this food, you agree to the following:
- Choking & Preparation: All foods can pose a choking hazard. You are strictly responsible for modifying food sizes and textures to match your child's skills. Always physically inspect this food for hidden hazards (e.g., bones, pits, seeds, splinters, or tough skins) before serving.
- Food Handling: Ensure all ingredients are properly washed, stored, and cooked to safe internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness. Never serve raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs to an infant.
- Allergens: Introduce any new food one at a time. Observe your child closely for signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing) and seek emergency medical care immediately if symptoms occur.
