Snack ideas
« on: November 19, 2005, 09:51:21 am »
DS is amost 9 months old and I want to start giving him a mid morning/afternoon snack, but am not sure what to give him.  He is on a dairy and wheat free diet so cannot have yoghurt, custard, bread or rusks which are the usual snacks people give.

Can someone give me some ideas.

I have tried giving him fruit as finger food, but he just mashes it between his fingers and hasn't worked out how to put it in his mouth, so I end up pureeing it.   However, since I also give him pureed fruit as dessert, this is not very interesting for him.

carrot
blueberries
grapes (chopped)
cherrios (don't know if he can have these)
biscuits (wheat and diary free - a friend's dd had these)
apple rings
pasta (wheat free)
cucumber
dried banana
raisins
apricots
roasted veg
chicken slices
cooked sausage
chopped egg
pear, peach, apple rolled in baby rice
sultanas
orange
tomoto
cherries
baked pototo wedges

if you have a look around in your local supermarket/health food store you should get a selection of diary and wheat free products.  You may get some yoghurts, bread, rice cakes, biscuits and think even bread sticks that are wheat/gluten free.
