...what finger foods you have given your LO! After all the nerves and questions on here I finally took the plunge an started with finger foods last week! Eve is LOVING it!
So far I've tried,
Banana
Toast, with butter, with Humous and a tiny tiny bit of marmite!
Carrot batons with Humous!
Tomatoes
Pitta bread
Broccoli
I'm wanting to try scrambled egg but would I use normal cows milk or her formula? Also would you give your LO strips of chicken and other meats?
Could you list what you give as finger foods so I have a few mire ideas!
Thanks!

A few that my LO has had:
Rice cakes
Bread sticks
Mandarin, peaches, pear apple (all tinned in fruit juice)
Dried apricots
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Carrots
Cucumber
Cheese triangles
I have given her scrambled egg but she'd not too keen. I did use cow's milk (you only need a splash).
Glad it's going well! x
oh, and home made skinless sausages - perfect for it! we found the Baby Led Weaning Cookbook fantastic for ideas for finger foods for all meals of the day xx
Orange segments (they had no pips in and we cut the top off - she sucks the juice out and then spits the rest)
Mini Babybel cheeses
Cucumber
Mango chunks
Melon
Banana
Eggy Bread
Cucumber
Breadsticks
Toast
Rice Cakes
Carrot
Apple
Bannana
Kiwi (loved this)
Chips (only VERY occasionally & they have been home baked in the oven)
Not keen on bread unless toasted or scramble egg.
I think your allowed to cook with cows milk from about 6 months, I did anyway! xxx
Rice cakes
Plum slept fingers
Ella's kitchen vanilla and milk cookies
Loads of fruit / veg fingers mentioned above along with brussel sprout, clementine segments which she has whole, halved grapes, raisins
Turkey strip
Chicken strip ( both at Christmas she loved it also tried beef but it was a bit tough for her)
Toast soldiers
Various sandwiches cut into soldiers and squashed
Strips of omelette using cows milk which is fine for cooking
That's all I can think of just now
Rice cakes (loves them)
Breadsticks (Plum)
Organix snacks (adores the carrot ones but have to limit them!)
Carrot fingers
Broccoli spears
Jacket potato (scoop out potato and mix with e.g. cheese, tuna and then let the mess commence lol)
Cheese fingers
Soft cheese on rice cakes/bread
Melba toast
Chicken
Wafer thin ham
Quarters of tomato
Clementine/Mango/Melon/Pear/Banana
Cucumber fingers
Grated cheese and carrot mixed together
Dips e.g. guacomole/humus that she could dip fingers/food into (sort of lol)
Scrambled egg
Fish fingers (without batter)
Crumpets
Cheese on toast fingers
Brain gone dead..... :roll:
I make homemade pizza for him which he loves
Quesidillas (sp) which is a tortilla type toastie...You put one tortilla in the frying pan and toast it, turn it over and put cheese in it and ham if you want and then more cheese and another tortilla. Flip it over once the cheese melts on one side and toast untill the cheese is melted on the other.
I also buy the birdseye steamed veg bags and give DS half of one of them - his fave is the peas carrots and runner beans bag.
You could also try baking mini muffins? There are lots of savoury options. I havent tried any myself yet but I have a recipe for tomato and feta ones I want to give a go.
If you shop in ASDA they have a massive range of already prepared fruit like melon slices and pineapple fingers which are up to a ??1 cheaper than the other supermarkets. DS loves these and its brilliant because you can buy a big selection for a lot less. Plus when hes teething melon is a godsend.
Hope that helps xx
