Ds2 is just about to turn 6mo so I want to start introducing some finger foods for him to explore (alongside the purees I have been giving him since 5mo).

I did a mix of purée and finger food with ds1 and it worked really well but I cannot for the life of me remember what finger foods worked well at the early stage of weaning.

What do your 6mos like???

Banana is usually the first.
