Feeling eager to get finger foods on the go, help?

[kirstybumx3]

Sorry it's me again!
Not the best choice I know, before anyone shouts at me, but Rio ate a biscotti by himself after his tea yesterday so now I'm feeling more confident after his choking episode to give him more finger foods.
He also sucked on a piece of Yorkshire pudding until there was virtually nothing left.
I was thinking of cooking him an omelette for lunch today and just letting him feed himself. Is this an ok first finger food? Do I just cut it into strips and put it on his high chair tray for him? What should I put in it, anything?
Sorry for all the questions!!

Omlette should be sine. Maybe just stir in some cheese so you know there are no lumps. This should put your mind at ease and he will cope just fine.

My little boys first proper finger food meal was omelette too! I put cheese through it and cut it into strips. He loved it! Xxx

Thanks!! I'm going to give it a go at lunchtime. Is it weird that i am excited? Lol x

 

[Dollybird]

Haha no I get excited too.. I love giving him new things to try. We do mostly finger foods now as he prefers them. Messy though! Xxx

Another good one is pancakes. My friend gave me a recipe for carrot pancakes and they went down great! Xxx

And today I done home made fish cakes.. Another recipe from my friend and those where amazing! I put the recipe on the "sticky" thread about finger food xxx

Omelettes are fine, my lo has them all the time.

I also make pancakes with mashes up banana, oats, almond milk and an egg. My lo loves those.

Other good finger foods that were good "firsts" were sweet potato wedges, fried tofu sticks (I buy the blocks and cut them into finger size chunks and airfry) carrot buttons steamed, steamed pears, toast, rice cakes.

Also, if he liked the biscotti I sometimes give my lo the organix biscuits, they have no sugar.

Thanks felix555 that really helped. Will look for those organix biscuits too as I don't really like the look of the biscotti ingredients xx
