Fruit (Maybe a stupid question)

aeh72

DS has been eating table/finger foods for a while now (we supplement still with purees), and fruit has been a struggle.  He has a hard time picking up pieces of fruit that are slippery - mangos, peaches, bananas, cooked apple. He can pick up just about anything else easily.  I've been hesitant to give him too large of chunks for fear of choking (and he only has two teeth, although I know he can gum down a lot).  Am I doing something wrong with the fruit? Is there a better way to give it to him? TIA for any tips!

Try dusting some oatmeal  on it, makes it easier to pick up

use a cheese grater.  It makes it easier for them to grab handfuls, and no worries about choking.

we overcooked quinoa and used that for avocado.  dont know how good it would taste with fruits, but you never know!
