when to start finger foods and what to start with
« on: September 16, 2006, 19:18:24 pm »
Just curious when to start finger foods.  My son has been on pureed fruits and veggies for about a month now and is doing great.  I am not in a hurry for finger foods, but just trying to get an idea.  My son has started to make chewing motions when he sees us eat.  Is that a sign he might be ready?  What are some good things to start with?  Also, when is it okay to introduce yogurt and cheese?  What about bread?  What kind of yogurt is the best, plain or with fruit, or a particular brand (I am in the US)?  Thanks!

My son will be 7 months next week.  I haven't looked at the FAQ's yet, so I will check that out.  Thanks.

I started giving Bram nutrios as soon as he looked interested in them.  So not long after he was 6 months.  We just started yogurt at nine months.
