Finger Food

Okay .............. my wee man is approaching the 10 months mark and he just doesn't seem to be that keen at all on finger food, its kind of like he doesn't know what to do with it. In saying that he will put a biscuits or cracker in his mouth and eat a little bit but once he has had a bite that's the end of it. He also is more keen on pureed food and doesn't seem to like chunks or mashed.

I suppose my question is is there any way of trying to encourage this?

Also I must add that Lachlan still doesn't have any teeth, could this affect his eating?

He will still be able to eat but may feel a bit lazy on it (re teeth). Have you tried giving him cold cooked carrot slices? or kumara done the same way? Otherwise there are wafer biscuits, if he has a sweet... er gum he'll enjoy those. They go soft really easy so little kids like em.

Alan will be 2 next month and we made the mistake of not encorageing him more with finger food and he still is not keen on it so like the other's have said offer it to him. Like carrot sticke's and stuff. Alan is a really fussy terrible eater now and alot of that is to do with giving up on chunky food etc when I should have carried on he still heat's mashed Vegeie's so you really need to keep offering it to him even if he not seen interested it does mean a little food get's wasted along the way tho.
