Finger Food suggestions for 15 month old

9 replies

MrsAlwaysRight · 02/12/2008 16:04

I am after some suggestions for finger food for my DD 15 months. She has recently started getting fed up very quickly at meal times. She will let me feed her a few spoonfuls or feed herself for a short time but then gets bored/frustrated.
She seems much happier feeding herself finger food but I am running out of ideas! She will try most things and there are very few foods she is not keen on. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for suggestions

Depending on her chewing ability and number of teeth:

Toast fingers
Carrot sticks
Cucumber sticks
Cherry tomatoes
Raisins
Cheese strings
Mini sandwiches
Home made cheese straws
Breadsticks
Cubes of ham
Eggs cut into quarters
Chunks of boiled potato

That lot any good?

Thanks BoffinMum - she has plenty of teeth and no problems chewing so should be fine with your suggestions

baby led weaning site great for more ideas.

Mine (now 18 mo) loves cooked carrots, broccoli, corn on the cob, cheesey pancakes. Have you tried her with a little fork for messier stuff?

Another bizarre thing mine all loved was those antipasti little octopuses you get in jars!! I think they were such a wierd shape ...

Thanks for ideas. I've bought her a fork and knife set today so will see how she gets on with it. For tea tonight she has tried pizza, mini corn on cob, sugar snap peas and ham. Seemed to like it all Will also check out BLW site.

I want to have tea at your house! Sounds lovely!

site is ww.babyledweaning.com but tbh i'm sure you could just let her at whatever you're eating.
