Great thread! I've been racking my brain trying to think of finger foods

Corey loves peas

Ronnie- i try ti stick to non-staining foods when we;re out-
Tofu cubes
pear chunks
turkey bites (baby friendly turkey meatloaf baked in mini muffin tins)
canned pinto beans (Or navy beans)

And I have to say I am LOVING the Plum Organics squeeze pouches! I hold them and squeeze them (I can't imagine the MESS of letting them do it ) and we only use them as a quick snack while we are out- but so easy and so delicious! And even though my girls are WAY past the puree stage, they love them!!

Yellow bell peppers are great - just slice them up and eat!

Also, avocado and cucumber sandwiches.

Grated cheese... A favourite for fiddly fingers for us

3 times a week I give LO egg yolk (hardboiled) Its a bit crumbly so it seems to stick on his palate (LOL) so now I crumble it, mix it with a bit of unsalted butter so it becomes a spread and spread it on toast. First rate yumminess and goodness

Great ideas here, thanks for the thread!

Amazing thread its given me so many ideas and for the first time im really looking forward to preparing my DD meals. i do have one question though, alot of the foods that have been mentioned contain salt. Is it ok to give a 8 month old salt

Been ages since I posted in this thread I know apple has been said but I don't know if anyone said grated apple. I get really paranoid about apple (choking) but grated apple is brilliant and even at 15 months I still grate apple for DD, makes it nice and juicy too! x

Not sure if anyone has put this but I make cheesy eggy bread/ French toast for my little man and he loves them

It's just a cheese sandwhich dipped in the egg mixture and fried as normal then I cut into fingers

Out and about I have the pre packed mini cheeses for him to chew on he loves cheese

My lo is eight months with two teeth. He gags pretty bad. But doesntlike being spoon fed. Not keen on lumps either. A lot of fruit is too slippery for him to eat. and he is still learning hand to mouth coordination. also I've tried giving vegies in sticks. ( lightly cooked ) and doesn't want them fjust throws on the ground. I love this thread too. So anyone out there with a similar aged child and some great ideas?

I always notices lo had probs picking up banana and keeping a hold of it. yesterday I had a brainwave. U know those tortillas for burritos etc. Well I put a tiny bit of butter on one and rolled it up in a tortilla like a mini banana burrito or something. Did the same with avocado spread with cheese spread and fish. Sounds gross but actually tastes nice.
