Finger Foods

Ali has been eating Cheerios and the Gerber Puffs for over a month now.

What other finger foods can I start her on?

Goldfish

Re: Finger Foods

small pieces of banana, avocado, cooked carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, toast/bread, smushed peas or beans, kiwi...

I try to cook some kind of soup or stew about once a week so I can pull out some veggies for Brendan to eat. When I've tried to give him plain steamed carrots or someting he doesn't like them, but when they come from the soup I guess they have more flavor and he loves them.

Re: Finger Foods

chunks of banana, well cooked pasta (ziti or penne cut in half or thirds), soft veggies from soup or stew, Gerber pasta pick ups cut in half, baked or microwaved potato or mashed potatoes (MESSY!), cut up ripe fruit like pears or peaches....

anything that is soft and able to be grasped with a pincer grasp (pointer finger & thumb)

Re: Finger Foods

The gerber graduates pears and apples are good too...
Little bits of chicken, meatloaf, or whatever you are eating, that's how I started with DD...after her babyfood I would give her whatever I was eating and she loved it...cheese, bread, anything small and not too hard she was totally fine with.

Re: Finger Foods

Ditto to what everyone else said. I really just give her anything that I eat, as long as I can cut it up small.
