Not sure what size is best for finger foods - too small and he can't hold it very well in his hand, medium sized (e.g. dried apricot/pasta piece sized) and he just stuffs the whole thing in his mouth but then it's too much for him to chew and he gags/cries, too big and he can't get any of it in his mouth.
I end up breaking the food up into little mouthfuls for him and feeding him by putting it into his mouth for him to chew/swallow - which he is fine with.
Is the idea that he bites/sucks a little piece off the bigger piece and eats that? Cos he's just not getting that. Any advice on different foods to try / what's the best size?
