Protein based finger foods - ideas please

[wendyh]

Hi everyone,

My 12 month DD has gone off purees completely and depending on what mood she's in refuses to eat from a spoon completely. She has 1 tooth so not great at mushing food down yet. She also likes each food to be separate on her plate so she can have a good look and squeeze before putting it in her mouth. Oh and she's not keen on mince!

Can anyone help me with protein based finger food ideas? So far favourites are:

Egg sandwiches
Fish fingers
Roast dinners

Thank you

Cheese is good.

Bread sticks or similar that she can dip in hummous (good for iron, too).

Cheese?
Tofu?
Peanut butter on toast?
Hummus with breadsticks or veg for dipping?
Omelette?
Lentil and potato cakes?

Ds loves cheese on toast (perhaps his fave finger food). Carefully cooled, obviously!

Strips of omelette
Sticks of cheese
Homemade chicken goujons- if very soft (ie steamed chicken)
Ham
