Finger food and sandwich fillings ideas for 6 - 7 months please

[bitofasnowqueen]

I think the title says it all! We're going for a mix of purees and finger foods and am looking for ideas for DS's tea - food that he can play with eat in his high chair while I catch up on kitchen chores/prepare dinner.

houmous and grated carrot

Houmous and cream cheese

Avocado and cream cheese

mashed banana

cream cheese and chopped grapes

I am passing these on to you - even though my dd is super fussy - but she ate all of these in the early days of weaning!

Thanks meep. All suggestions appreciated. Sorry you're dd is super fussy! I was a bit like that myself as a child..

bump - because there must be more ideas out there!

toast fingers

cheese slices

scrambled egg

breadsticks to dribble over

cucumber sticks

cooked veg in fist size strips

i think that its not always about getting good food and calories in, but allowing different tastes and textures to be explored... so if your baby doesn't actually eat any of the finger food, thats ok, but they are getting the chance to try new things iykwim?

Absolutely mellyonion - thanks for those suggestions. He eats generally well at lunch and breakfast so perfectly happy for tea time to be more about making a mess-- exploring!

Anymore good sandwich filling suggestions for that age anyone?

wafer thin meat?

very thin marmite (v. salty)

crumpet

cooked plain pasta twirls

egg?

tuna spread thinly?

ummmm......

god..i can't even remember what i used to give mine! also, not sure sure of the age appropriatness of some of my suggestions....have forgotten that too!

ere are!

Eggy bread cut into slices
Avovado cut into slices
Banana pieces
Cooked apple slices
Cooked carrot
Cooked Sweet potato - this went down a treat with DD from day one, both as puree and as finger food
scrambled egg was a favourie so second that.

Sarnie fillings
Egg mayo (home made)
Avocado and Banana mashed
Avocado on its own - mashed
Tuna - poss too young? I csn't remember what age we gave DD this
Philadelphia

Thanks everyone. HAve taken notes of lots of good ideas.
