Thomas is only just handling second stage lumpy food ... only just ... he still gags abit and throws up ...

I have read this with interest, what I would like to ask is:

When did you start giving finger food? Rhyley has rusks (those hard stick things) which he gets thru and also Uk Rusks (so much nicer and like a think buscuit).

Oooh, I gave the gremlins cucumber for the first time tonight and they loved it! I took the skin off and gave them a chunk each. It was cold from the fridge which probably helped their teething gums, and they sucked all the flesh/seeds out. Mum reckons I'm gonna have to buy shares in a cucumber farm coz Maya loves them too, she eats them whole.]]> Mon, 18 Jun 2007 18:32:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8303&PID=162885&title=finger-foods#162885 <![CDATA[Finger Foods : Thanks for the list Katherine ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8303&PID=162819&title=finger-foods#162819 Author: Millie1976

The Watties feeding chart has some ideas, but these are recommended for babies 9 months plus, so you might need to use your own discretion about whether your baby is ready for them:

  • Mandarin segments (the tinned kind have the white pith taken off, and are very soft)
  • Raisins (a "choke food" so be careful)
  • Thin apple slices
  • Grated cheese
  • Wine biscuits
  • Cooked broccoli
  • Tinned pineapple rings
  • Avocado
  • Strawberries
  • Banana
  • Cooked carrot
  • Nectarine slices
  • Dried apricots (a bit tough for this age, though)
  • Mini meatballs
  • Cooked peas
  • Cooked pasta
  • Mini crustless sandwiches
  • Wine biscuits
  • Strips of luncheon sausage
  • Rice crackers or biscuits
  • Bread sticks

Cruskets with a bit of vegemite are always good as they kind of dissolve so no teeth required! Also gingernuts are a big hit here - again just sucked on (but they make a HUGE mess!)]]> Mon, 18 Jun 2007 08:17:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8303&PID=162528&title=finger-foods#162528 <![CDATA[Finger Foods : Hi there girls, they have some...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8303&PID=162500&title=finger-foods#162500 Author: shelleybean

You'd think so! They love finger foods, but when it comes to baby mush they're still only having about half a jar each per meal. I have no idea how they stay so chubby!]]> Fri, 15 Jun 2007 20:59:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8303&PID=161623&title=finger-foods#161623 <![CDATA[Finger Foods : Good question Millie.

The gremlins have finger foods for lunch most days, Today they had some pasta spirals (rice pasta coz of allergies) some of the Aria Farm lamb chips and some cold cooked zucchini pieces. They sucked all of the flesh out of the zucchini and I baked the lamb chips rather than grilled them so they weren't too crunchy. They also love rice crackers, fruit bars and occasionally I give them a carob cookie to suck on.]]> Fri, 15 Jun 2007 20:40:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8303&PID=161595&title=finger-foods#161595 <![CDATA[Finger Foods : Toast fingers.

Hi Ladies,

I am thinking of introducing some more finger foods to Ollie but just don't really know what else to give him. At this stage he still doesn't have any teeth so does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried some fruit i.e. bananas, apples, mandarins in one of those things that you can put food in and they can chew on (having a mental block so can't remember what they are called!!!!)Any ideas would greatly be appreciated. ]]> Fri, 15 Jun 2007 20:32:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8303&PID=161586&title=finger-foods#161586
