Finger foods
Hey Girls
I weaned lochlan onto solids at 6 months, so he's still getting purrees etc, I'm thinking of intorducing finger foods soon which i have been too scared to do as when i even make a slightly lumpier dinner he chokes really badly so im a bit nervous about it all, what were your experiences and what were the things you started with as beginners of finger foods?
Thanks

Thank you for the ideas its so scarey the thought of him choking turns my stomach but i want to get started now than later so he can get used to things like cheese apples etc this would probably satifiy him a bit more aswell i would imagine xx
He hardly ever gagged completelt and if he does now, his technique is to shovel another piece of food in and keep going! so doesn't bother him!
Or the Organix carrot sticks are good as they just disolve too. the bigger bags with bigger ones ar best as they are easier for them to hold.
He loved toast fingers too. He still loves a slice of melon especially when he's teething, likes to gnaw on the skin.
they have a very good gag reflex so try not to worry. Good luck. S x

I like the organix snacks (sweetcorn rings, carrot sticks etc) as a first finger food, as they dissolve so the baby cannot choke on them, but it gets them used to eating finger foods.
