When to start finger food
« on: August 04, 2005, 16:37:07 pm »
I was wondering when others started their children on finger food and what types of figure foods were given first.

Thanks!

Hey there!
I started giving it to my dd at around 8 mo... at which time they have the pincher grasp developed. We gave her cheerios at first (itīs great because they are just the right size, they love the shape and turn tu mush quite easily... plus, itīs easy to carry everywhere and it wont stain!)

Hope it helps!

PS After, we gave her anything really... cooked pasta, banana (she LOVED) strips of meat or poultry...

I started around 6.5 months with little baby rice cakes. Have fun!

Thanks for your input.  I think both my daughter and I are looking forward to starting soon.
