Snacks?

Caitlyn gets hungry around 11am, do I give her a snack? If I do, what should I give her?

if summer has a snack she will have something like little bits of banana cut up into little chunks on her tray, or she loves the organix snacks like rice cakes and carrot sticks, a rusk, she also likes to nibble on a stick of celery, sometimes she will have toast. but mainly some soft pieces of fruit or veg to pick at herself xx

Kaya has three meals a day and a few snacks in between. She has a small yogurt, grapes, pears, apples, fruit flakes etc

Do you have lots of baby snacks over there? Here we've got lots of different rusks and finger foods. Otherwise fruite etc is always healthy.

Fruit, breadsticks, toast, yoghurts or maybe a block of cheese.

I've been told not to give her Rusks, so I've been trying to replace them with carrots and stuff. Can I give her veg as snacks? I guess I can Sorry

I would give her a snack, we do little crackers, cooked veggies diced, diced fruit...I would do yogurt but he can't have dairy or soy

Those of you who give grapes....I'm assuming you cut up the grapes right? How does your LO like them?

 

[Serene123]

I peel grapes and cut them in half, she loves them.

I need to start giving Grace snacks. I gave her some toast but she chewed on it then just mushed the rest of it up then smeared it all over the tray. She sin't really into chewing lumps and swallowing, what's the best snack to give her to encourage her to have lumpy food but that she won't choke on while she's learning?

 

[Serene123]

Have you tried giving her a steamed carrot to hold/eat?

 

[AppleBlossom]

I've given her raw carrot for her teething. Maybe i'll try that instead
