A good tip: Real life trial

I read somewhere a few days ago:

"If you baby has trouble eating slippery fruit try coating it in some oat flour."

I think this is genius because DD loves to self feed, but cannot negotiate banana. I whipped out my Baby Bullet and ground some oat flour in about 5 seconds. Tossed it in with the pieces and it all looked great. DD loved it and ate like a champ, but it was a fun clean-up! Final results:

Floured Banana eaten:95%

Percentage of Baby floured after eating: 50%

Awesome! I've heard of coating pieces in bread crumbs, but that didn't sound very tasty. Oat flour would probably go really well with fruit.

Sounds like a good time~I may have to look into oat flour, Allison has issues picking up the banana too...

I coat slippery food with ground up cheerios, which is basically the same thing.
