Is it ok to give my 7 month old bread and butter?

[Hatters1982]

I have been giving my 7 month old brown bread with a little butter and banana (cut in to tiny squares) and he loves it and doesn't have problems swollowing it.

However I'm worried I should be using a certain sort of bread or butter.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Anything will be fine.

agree with moondog, absolutely fine. sounds like finger food is going down well

Thanks both!

Oh yes DS was eating sandwiches at that age, I wouldn't give very seedy/granary bread but anything would be fine. I always give the children butter (lurpak spreadable, unsalted in the early days) rather than speads/margerines because I don't like margerines

I cut them into long fingers so he could hold them while eating.

I'm sure bread and butter will be fine, but for very little ones white bread is easier to digest, and it's often easier for them to eat as toast as soft bread can be quite claggy. I think I also used unsalted butter in the beginning too.

I used granary as thats what i buy. All 3 dc's have been fine with that - just get lots of seeds in their poo.

Ah well maybe it depends on the child then, we buy granary/seeded for us but if ds (2.8) has it he still gets diarrhea and a sore bum the next day.

The brown bread I use is plain wholemeal but I use ordinary butter. Might get some low salt/unsalted butter.

Really appreciate all of your advice, it's put my mind at rest.
