Easy first finger foods.
Hi there
I've just started BLW and was after some ideas for easy first foods to try. I read a book that recommended green beans to start with so tried that yesterday but I found it a bit too worrying, watching that been being sucked in and out and seeing it waggle round in there! I need some to find some easy to manage, easy to chew/swallow foods that will let Liv get the hang of it, without giving me a heart attack!
Thanks for your help.XXX

Carrot sticks and broccoli florets (steamed) were another favourite in the beginning
Also battons of carrot, butternut squash, sweet potato, courgette, parsnip, normal potato wedges. I tend to roast most of Erin's veggies as she much prefers the flavour. 15 mins in some olive oil for little finger size battons is about right - soft without being mushy!
Green beans are actually chewy for babies, you have to cook them for a long time until they are soft enough to eat, and then they may not taste of much!
Have you read the blw book by Gill Rapley? It's very good and suggests lots of ideas for first foods.
