Finger Food Ideas Please

5 replies

Hello all
What finger food do you give your babies? Mine have a finger food lunch of e.g. toast, grated cheese, hooped cereal, melt in mouth crisp things.
What else would people suggest? My boy has only one tooth, my girl none, so I'm looking for ideas for food they can gum :)
Thanks!

DS really likes;

. Sweet potato- wedges or mashed
. Mashed avocado, or cut up into big strips
. Banana
. Cooked carrot
. Omelette
. Custard

He deems everything else to be shit and pulls a face like I'm trying to murder him Grin

Cooked veg sticks
Chunks of roasted vegetables
Avocado
Pasta twists
Omelette strips or mini quiches
Homemade fish fingers
I found a crinkle cutter really handy for the early days for slippery food like mangoes so they can pick it up easier, only a couple of quid on eBay

There is tonnes of fruit available right now op so don’t be worried about letting them try it. Don’t worry about teeth either, they will be able to manage most things Smile

When I was stuck for ideas, I borrowed Finger Foods for Babies and Toddlers from the library and found it really useful. The cheese straws were a really big hit Smile
