10 Finger Food ideas

10 finger food ideas

This one’s for Kirsten who requested some finger food ideas. Now, like we were, she’s a bit nervous about giving more solid foods to her little’un and I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this too.

In fact, one of our first posts on Facebook was this picture.

When we transitioned from milk to food I felt like my heart was literally in my mouth. I had read up on baby led weaning and imagined the little man would be chopping on a chicken leg at 6 months old but in reality I was a nervous wreck!….Anyone else???

It’s our protective nature kicking in. The truth is the kids will be fine as long as we choose the right time and the right size foods to give them. So, we’ve come up with 10 finger food ideas with a little help from some fellow food bloggers.

Sweet Potato Soft Bites

I eased myself in with the humble sweet potato. The consistency is perfect as they’re a little mushy and depending on how you cook it, their size is perfect for little hands to grasp.
