Finger foods ?
So I know this is asked all the time on 6-12, but I've never paid too much attention. Just curious what kind of finger foods you give your little ones (other than cut up fruits and veggies). I just started Stage 3 for dinner, but they seem silly. When did you or will you stop feeding jarred/pureed food? There aren't very many choices in Stage 3 (DS has a dairy allergy too) and it seems like I might as well be feeding him more finger foods, like cut up pasta, bits of pancakes, etc. Right now he mainly eats purees and Puffs as snacks. I think more than anything I'm just kind of a chicken when it comes to feeding him non-pureed food!

I think I only fed Olivia a stage 3 once, it was spaghetti and cheese from Earth's best but she seemed to like it.
She started out with eating cheerios as finger foods, and then branched out to steamed frozen veggies (like peas, corn and green beans) and soft fruits (like strawberries and steamed apple). ?Some of her other first finger foods were elbow macaroni, cut up meatball (it was hard for her to eat regular meat like chicken at first), and cheese (though I guess that wouldn't work with your DS' dairy allergy). ?Basically just feed him anything that is not too hard and cut up. ?It makes things a lot easier when they begin to feed themselves!?
We used homemade/jar food with my DD until she was 9 months old. When my DS turned 7 months old and we started solids, we went straight to finger foods because he refused to be fed from a spoon.
