Our ancestors would have been mashing food for their babies for thousands of years. If not mashing then chewing food for them. Of course it's natural to give finger foods (nothing new there) So why some trendy American term? Why do people thing they're doing something different to what the rest of us do? My first lo had every finger food going at 6 mths. Most of the time she ate from my plate. Oh and guess what, she also had mashed food - seems like the natural way of feeding a baby to me.
