Starting Finger Foods

Which foods make the best finger foods?



My little monkey has been starting finger foods. the question is...what is the best food to introduce to her at the start? here is a good list I found off of my favorite go-to-site. www.babycenter.com


•  Very small chunks of cheese

•  Chopped hard-boiled egg

•  Cut-up raisins, softened dried apricots, or stewed prunes

•  Small pieces of well-cooked vegetables, like carrots, peas, zucchini, potato, or sweet potato

•  Small well-cooked broccoli or cauliflower "trees"

•  Pea-size pieces of cooked chicken or other soft meat

•  Rice cakes or crackers broken into small pieces

•  O-shaped toasted oat cereal or other low-sugar cereal


•  Lightly toasted bread or bagels (spread with vegetable puree for extra vitamins)


•  Small chunks of banana or other very ripe peeled and pitted fruit, like mango, plum, pear, peach, cantaloupe, or seedless watermelon


•  Small cubes of tofu


•  Well-cooked pasta spirals, cut into pieces
