For the past 3 or so weeks, I've been sending more than puffs (which I've been sending since about 7 months). Banana chunks, avacado chunks, chicken bites (he loved the chicken we had in tacos), spaghetti (you'd think he would choke but doesnt), noodles/veggies from soup, rice (not a hit), toast strips, waffle strips, french toast strips....that's all I can think of at the moment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-packing-bento-boxes#post-569239 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:58:00 +0000 littlek 569239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: What finger foods are you sending to daycare?
