Finger foods, on the go, for a 7month old.

[misdee]

dd3 loves banana, toast, rusks etc. now i can obviously take bananas with me, but not a toaster. suggestions on what i can give her when we are on the go all day.

Is she really only 7 months misdee - I thought she was sthe same age as mine?

yup, i think, born 21 feb.

I toast a piece of bread and cut into squares and put into a tuppaware container when we go out. doesn't stay quiet as crispy but works for a day. Otherwise I just give my dd bread. The other ones that work well are breadsticks, pieces of carrot, pieces of cheese - all of which can be put into small airtight containers and can go in handbag or changing bag!

raisins
sticks of cheese

I wouldn't give raisins to a seven month old.

why?

choking (had three goes spelling that!! am brain dead )

I can't remember what age I gave ds raisins but he had them once he could pick them up in a pincer movement. They are so small I didn't think choking would be lilely. I don't give whole grapes though!

maltloaf with butter
I gave raisins to my kids at 7 mo
bread with marmite
dried apricots

phew

I am a neurotic ex health visitor. Enough said

ah but you have a professional opinion on your side

Or mother hubbard - have my own burgeoning tribe of non raisin munchers!

My dd is 7.5 months and along with the usual bananas, rusks etc I also give her unsalted rice cakes. Although these do tend to go quite sticky once they've been sucked for a few minutes and can be a bugger to get off clothes/hair etc . Breadsticks are a good idea and I will be buying some this week.

I gave mine raisins at 7mo. and he got a baby banana or 2 every day - he lived on them! babybels?

Rice cakes definitely and when she is a bit older kallo do lovely marmite flavour ones. Breadsticks? Only if she can suck on them OK. Trifle sponge biscuits (bit sugary).
