what finger foods i can give my 7 month?

Answer 1

As long as your child is able to sit up then finger foods are a good way to help them learn to feed themselves.
Bananas are always good if not a little messy, for a child who is teething you may want to freeze the banana as this can help calm the gums, don't give it straight from the freezer though.
Any cooked vegetable such as carrot sticks,broccoli,cauliflower.
Remember nothing to small which can become lodged in thier throats.My charge loves the crust from bread with marmite on !!

Answer 2

Toast, soft non-crumbly biscuits, rusk, banana, apple, grated cheese. Pretty much anything as long as its suitable for sucking on and be prepared for a lot of mess. You'll be surprised how messy they can get. Avoid things that are small enough to choke on like grapes and raisins until they can chew properly. Small fingers of apple and pear with the skin removed are good too. Good luck this is a fun stage but be vigilant when they are eating and don't leave your wee one unattended as when chomping they all too often put too much in their mouth.

Answer 3

steamed veg cooled down, like carrot sticks and broccoli and sliced apple and pear. bread fingers lightly toasted and maybe something to dip them into like houmous or equivalent. my son loved homemade pizza fingers when he was 6 7 and 8 months old. only give him one with some veg or fruit. use muffins, spread some dolmio on it and grate some cheese. put in oven on low heat for about 12 mins. its good to introduce new foods to your child while they are young, it gets them used to the flavours and they won't be so picky when their older. allow your child to make a mess and use their fingers and hands when eating. its fun and encourages them not to be scared of food

Answer 4

I would wait a little while longer, but if you are going to give your baby finger foods, try the Gerber Puffs first. My son started them at 8 months and loves them. It took him a few days to figure out how to get those tiny things in his mouth, but he eventually mastered it. They dissolve quickly so it's a good learning tool.

Answer 5

I went out and got the best ever book: The Big Book of Recipes for Babies, Toddlers & Children: 365 Quick, Easy, and Healthy Dishes - Author: Bridget Wardley.
This book is fabulous! It will take you right through all these stages with great healthy recipes that are easy to make and most you can freeze for later.

• Small amounts of protein (egg yolk, pureed meats and poultry; tofu; well-cooked and mashed beans with soft skins like lentils, split peas, pintos, black beans)

• Introduce new foods one at a time, with at least three days in between to make sure your baby's not allergic.

Answer 7

my daughters enjoyed bananas cut into sticks, fingers of bread with cheese spread, boiled/steamed carrots and for a special treat wotsits or quavers. top tip: get a plastic sheet and put under the feeding chair, it will save your floor especially carpet.

Answer 8

Cheerios
rice husks
banana
cooked carrot pieces
grated cheese
well cooked pasta cut up
soft raisins
any soft fruit cut up small
soft cut up pieces of bread or bagels
crackers
just about any well cooked and cut up veggie
cut up tofu
teething biscuits/cookies
Gerber has fruit puffs

Answer 9

Nything that will dissolve in the mouth and not break into liitle chunks that could be choked on.
For example, raw carrot sticks bad, cheese good.

Answer 10

Cheerios, Gold fish, cooked green beens, cooked carrots slices (we used to just buy them already cooked and sliced in the can). Banana pieces are OK, but they get slimy and hard to pick up.
