My 6.5 month old has been on purees for a few weeks now. The pedi said we could start finger foods around 7 months. I'm quite excited about it, just wondering when everyone started finger foods and what did you start with? My doctor suggest things like oven baked fries, fruit pieces and even scrambled eggs. What did you start with?

@Mrsbells: what were you attempting to write that made me think fruit pies??? fruit piees - fruit pieces? LOL!

We did BLW so he has had finger food since the beginning. We did Avocado and fruit pieces. We did veggies like cucumbers and bell peppers. We did meat like chicken see picture he is 6 months old.
For packaged foods we like gerber fruit and veggie melts, freeze dried fruit, and puffs.

@mediagirl: haha i was thinking...this ped is really recommending some unhealthy foods...fries and pies?

I didn't start my LO on finger foods for real until 9 months because she would gag when I gave her anything a little bit chunky. I started with cheereos and puffs, and steamed veggies and fruits and toast.

We did BLW as well, so we started with finger foods. We did soft fruits like avocado and pears at 6 months and worked our way up to "real food." LO did gag a bit in the beginning (she still does sometimes at 10.5 months) but I am still amazed at what she did/does eat.
