Just rinse them first. The skins on the chick peas may not go over well, but they are easy to squeeze off. </p> <p>I'm not a fan of other canned veggies, but frozen...omg saved my life! Frozen peas, carrots, corn, broccoli, cauliflower, squash. I still try to have something fresh on hand, but frozen really is just as good and so much easier (already cut and don't have to worry about spoiling). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564161 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 05:48:27 +0000 Rocker2014 2564161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd add pancakes to the above lists - for some reason they were a favorite of LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564158 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 05:03:26 +0000 Ms. RV 2564158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD tried ground meat (pork out of a wonton, to be exact) and she loved it. She had no problem picking it up... it stuck together enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564119 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 21:36:41 +0000 autumnlove 2564119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken, steamed veggies, ground meat, pieces of bread, smashed fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564114 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 21:33:11 +0000 Anagram 2564114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little one loves peas, broccoli, and frozen blueberries best of all. But she eats all kinds of other things. Tonight she had scallops (I cut them into smaller bits) and broccoli. She was really into the scallops. </p> <p>Older sister only took 2 bites of scallops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564097 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 20:59:39 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2564097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: sure do. I just started giving them to DD this week. I got a bag of frozen ones from Costco and the individual pieces are the size of my palm. 😳 I only have to cook 2 and I cut them really small. I cook them softer than I would if I was making them for myself. The filling squishes all out, but DD can pick it up and eat it still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564095 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 20:50:08 +0000 simplyfelicity 2564095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: Do you cut up the ravioli really small? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564094 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 20:49:17 +0000 simplyfelicity 2564094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Friozen meatballs! One of my DS's regular meals is crumbled up turkey meatballs, shredded cheese and shredded carrots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564080 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 20:00:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2564080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried roasted chicken tonight. DD was a fan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564049 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:46:45 +0000 LindsayLou 2564049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Cottage cheese is kind of an odd thing, and it's super messy but my daughter loves it. Yogurt--fruit flavored, with fresh fruit mixed in, plain, with granola---and cheese of all sorts are also hits. She even likes bleu cheese! Tortellini, with cheese or chicken and cheese filling is a favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564045 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:40:05 +0000 BSB 2564045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: I asked the dr if we can start giving the babies yogurt and she said yeah. She also recommended other diary. DH and I seriously looked at each other and was trying to think of other diary foods besides cubed cheese. </p> <p>DH said jokingly... cheese whiz? Haha!</p> <p>Dr said cottage cheese. Both DH and I don't eat cottage cheese so it didn't even cross our mind. I think I'll buy a little cup and see how I and the babies like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564043 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:38:49 +0000 LindsayLou 2564043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: No problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564041 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:36:39 +0000 BSB 2564041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: @erinbaderin: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564039 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:34:45 +0000 BSB 2564039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Cool! Thanks for the tip. I'll put GB, beets, peas and corn on my list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564037 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:33:31 +0000 mfa_lady 2564037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: Lucky duck! :silly: </p> <p>@bluestriped bee: Yeah! Some canned veggies are gross and slimy, but GBs and beets are totally fine. Corn and peas are good, too, if your LO likes them. They're just not DD's favorite. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564035 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:31:06 +0000 BSB 2564035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Oh, canned foods! Thanks! That will help so I don't have to so much prep work. DH and I have been resorting to already prepared foods. I might have to dive in the canned foods section. Oh, I love beets! Roasted is good but I, also, like canned beets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564029 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:22:11 +0000 erinbaderin 2564029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lentil cake, sticky rice formed into balls, hard boiled egg yolks - that's all I can think of that hasn't been listed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564027 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:21:05 +0000 KT326 2564027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Our grocery store (Safeway) has cooked organic beets in our produce section (vacuum sealed). DS loved them when he was little! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564023 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:15:32 +0000 mfa_lady 2564023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did tons of sweet potato and butternut squash. Also, canned green beans and beets are DD's faves! It's easy to find organic GBs most places, too, even in store brands. (If you care about that.) Beets, not so much...but they're just so easy to buy canned and chop up for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564021 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:08:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2564021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: yes! The spaghetti squash is her favorite. We make it like spaghetti so it has red sauce on it. She also really loves cheese, sweet potatoes, and salmon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-soft-finger-foods-did-you-give-your-baby#post-2564018 Wed, 08 Jun 2016 17:59:04 +0000 LindsayLou 2564018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sweet potatoes<br /> Roasted red potatoes<br /> Mashed potatoes<br /> Green beans<br /> Peas<br /> Sugar snap peas<br /> Asparagus<br /> Acorn squash<br /> Avocado<br /> Zucchini<br /> Carrots<br /> Cauliflower<br /> Broccoli<br /> Bell pepper<br /> Eggplant<br /> Eggs<br /> Cottage cheese<br /> Shredded cheese<br /> Refrigerate beans<br /> Black beans<br /> Banana<br /> Pineapple<br /> Cooked apples<br /> Strawberries<br /> Raspberries<br /> Blueberries<br /> Peaches<br /> Nectarines<br /> Soft cooked meats<br /> Fish<br /> Toast<br /> Muffins<br /> Watermelon<br /> Tortellini<br /> Ravioli<br /> All other pasta.
