Finger Foods for 11-mos old: recommendations?

[MumOfLeo]

Can you recommend any easy finger foods for an 11-month-old? He has only two bottom teeth, so foods not requiring much chewing would be ideal. He likes pear, mango, buttered toast, and cheese. Thank you in advance!

fish fingers or avocado?

My kids LOVE soybeans in the pod. You can find them in the freezer section at a japanese store or Oriental food supply place.

Anabel's chicken fingers - both types. For both types you slice up skinless chicken breast. Then you dip it in flour then egg & milk mixture and finally in crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs. Also her chicken balls. All of these ds loves, they are very quick to make (and you can make them in bulk and freeze) and you know that they contain 100% good chicken.

plain cooked boiled potato my daughter found v. enjoyable and for a treat an odd bit of potato waffle. for those with few teeth they're easy to squelch with gums.

oh yes - fisil beat me to it - ds loves those chicken fingers by annabel karmel!!

Breadsticks (can make your own by slicing bread and microwave for 30 sec), pear, peach and nectarine slices, banana, clementine segments (they spit the pulp back when they have chewed the juice out), avacado, dried fruit. They dont seem to need teeth but use gums for chewing.

be careful with breadsticks if you have a fast eating baby
my ds has always stuffed his food as quick as possible and we had a very scary moment with breadsticks!!

I used to make home made mini cube potato chips (not chips really) cook potato in skin, leave to cool, then peel and cut into any shape u like I suppose. Put little butter in frying pan, melt and season the potato in herbs, teeniest bit of salt or u can buy onion, tomato powders and just fry them lightly until firm. You can also give pancakes from Supermarket's and Tesco does a range for kids, low salt & sugar.

crumpets
tesco do something called pikelets - skinny crumpets really that fit in your toaster

Popsycal - I always thought crumpets and pikelets were the same thing, depending on which part of the country you're from? My father has always called them pikelets and he's from Somerset.

Anyways, my suggestions are apple chips - I use a V-slicer, but you could just grate coarsely, eggy bread and white chocolate buttons for special treats

BTW, I saw another parent giving her child a snack bar which said "equivalent to a piece of fruit" on the wrapper, but I didn't gt the name of it. Does anyone know what these are and where I could get them?

Cas

we have both - pikelets are skinny crumpets up here
I know organiz do thiose fruit bars - check out babyfood in large supermarkets
rice cakes are good too
get salt free ones

organix!

I used to give scrambled egg - fairly dry, and well-cooked so it forms into lumps they can pick up. Also peas. (My older kids eat frozen peas like sweets but they need to be at least defrosted for a baby.)
