Once he mastered those, we did bits of white meat chicken, chunks of boiled sweet potatoes, banana (that's tough to pick up), bits of whole wheat bread, pieces of steamed green beans (cooked until almost mushy), bits of cheese, scrambled eggs, pasta, and yogurt melts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-food-ideas#post-525349 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:18:50 +0000 Weagle 525349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>puffs, scrambled eggs, beans, asparagus stalks, potatoes, squash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-food-ideas#post-524799 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 17:05:56 +0000 Mrsbells 524799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys these are great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-food-ideas#post-524773 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:52:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 524773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7 months and loves finger foods like:</p> <p>Puffs<br /> Yogurt melts<br /> cheese<br /> Steamed veggies (peas, spring beans cut up, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet peppers, etc)<br /> Pasta with pasta sauce on it (one of her favorite foods)<br /> Bread of all kinds<br /> Avocado<br /> Fruit<br /> Beans (whole, cooked soft – chickpeas, kidney beans, etc)<br /> Soft cooked potatoes<br /> Little pieces of soft meats like chicken, homemade meatballs</p> <p>She also *loves* eating pickle spears!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-food-ideas#post-524768 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:48:43 +0000 mrsjazz 524768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do mild cheddar cheese, sweet potato, broccoli, chicken, sausage, fried egg sliced,and more.

Sweet potato pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-food-ideas#post-524752 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:39:03 +0000 Mrsbells 524752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are some finger foods for your baby to feed themselves? LO mainly eats purees but I am giving her finger foods too. everyone is pushing me to give her cheerios and puffs but I dont really see the benefit of those, so I'm looking for other healthy alternatives. so far she has mainly had small pieces of wheat bread and bagels. Also fruit pieces too.<br /> What finger foods do you serve to your child. (LO is 9 months old) </p>
