dd has been weaning on purees etc for about 5 weeks now and I am wondering if I should start offering finger foods as I don't want her to still be having purees etc when she is older. She is 6 months atm and can sit well in the highchair, pick things up and bring them to her mouth well. This morning after her weetabix I cut up some sticks of apple which she quiote happily put in her mouth and attem,pted to munch on but didn't actually eat any - not that I expected her to really!
Just wondered when others in this situation gave fingerfoods? My annabel karmel book suggests it in the 6-9m section but there is not much info and lots of puree recipes still.
I am wondering if I can offer some finger foods at each meal perhaps after her puree to get her used to the idea of them. Or am I just rushing her?
Any opinions/advice very welcome.

think dd wants finger foods but can I combine it with purees?
