Avocado Toast Fingers for Baby
The fastest first breakfast there is: healthy fats from avocado on lightly toasted fingers that don't gum into a paste.
Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 slice wholemeal bread
- Squeeze of lemon
- Optional: a dusting of ground hemp or toasted sesame seeds
Method
- Toast the bread lightly — soft bread balls up; light toasting keeps structure.
- Mash the avocado with lemon and spread thickly.
- Cut into finger-width strips and serve.
How to serve it by stage
6+ months
Wide strips with a thick mash layer — easy palmar grip, soft to gum.
9+ months
Small squares for pincer pickup; try a thin sesame dusting to introduce that allergen.
12+ months
Whole halved toast; let them practise biting pieces off.
Allergen & safety noteIf topping with sesame, remember it's a priority allergen — introduce it deliberately and on its own the first time. Always supervise eating, serve baby upright in a high chair, and check food passes the squish test for younger babies.
