I've done a lot of reading about avocado as a first food and it is one of the most nutritious foods out there. Plus, it is melt in your mouth soft--perfect for a finger food. Here is a snippet of Benjamin's first avocado given to him on October 11th. The video clip doesn't give the whole picture. He eventually liked it. You can kind of tell at the end of the video that he is intrigued as he rolls over to me and the plate to get another look. Sadly, he had a reaction to it (skin rash that he still has a touch of), so he won't be able to have it again for a long while. Or other foods related to it like banana, cantalope, pineapple, etc. But most disturbing to me is his potential sensitivity to latex as it is also in the same family as avocado. Is it terrible that I am already worried about how he will protect himself one day and be able to have safe sex? Hopefully this won't be a full blown allergy in his adult life!
