finger foods for an almost 6 month old

[Vickie]

What kinds of finger foods do you recommend? Hannah loves feeding herself and I'd like to encourage her too any time I can so what kinds of finger foods do you give your LO's when first starting out with weaning

its great wen they are eating isnt it, i used to grate everything for lilly, but she has apple slices now and carrot batons and cheese strings haha she loves snack lol

Apple slices? How does she manage that?! Actually, I'm sure Caitlyn could handle it. When did you start apple slices?

 

[kelly2903]

only a few weeks ago, i only did it because i had pealed and apple and put it on her high chair to go do summert else dont ask why i put it there i was busy and never thought and when i turned round she was eating it like that so i took it off her and moved her up a stage to slices, i sometimes boil it for her as well, she likes that. if caitlyn can manage carrot she has a dam good shot at apple slices give it ago she'll prob scrape her lil teeth down it lol good luck

Ally has apple, pear, banana, cheese, rusks, apple organix rice cakes, toast (fingers). Gave him spaghetti bolognaise the other day and he did surprisingly well with it. I topped him up with some puree but I think he got quite a lot in (more sauce than pasta). We are doing 1 baby led (basically finger food) meal a day at the moment but it's going so well that I think we'll move up to 2 soon.
