To grain or not to grain?

The twins are now on solids, so the old question of “what do I start with” has come up again. I am a firm believer of the fact that fruits and vegetables are easier on little tummies to digest than grains. I understand that rice cereal is given as it is the right consistency for babies but it requires alot more from the digestive system to break it down.
So rather than using grains I started Lilly and now the twins on avocado. Avocado’s are great starter foods for babies as they can be pureed down to a smooth paste that when mixed with a little breast milk or formula is easy eat. Avocado’s are a great source of fat and vitamins for babies. They contain unsaturated fats, which are known to be important for normal growth and development of the central nervous system and brain.
