My DD was not really into the purees and I tried giving her some cheerios. She picks them up with ease and ate a ton of them! I tried giving her some soft banana pieces and some soft broccoli. She ate it all. Anyone else starting finger foods? What are you giving your baby? My DD crawls, sits, and chews.
Re: Finger foods for 7 month old
You might want to take a loook at the baby lead weaning book or cookbook for ideas. I was nervous to give anything at first but 2 weeks in my 6 month old is eating banana, avocado, lots of roasted veggies (sweet pototoes, zuchini, carrots, parsnip, white potatoes, squash, green beans), pita bread, oatmeal fingers made with quick oats and milk, sweet potato pancakes, quino and rice. Oddly right now his favorite food is asparagus. We also had a meat and veggie stew in the slow cooker last night and he loved it. Basically I am giving giving him anything we ate, just starting to cook without salt s we can do that. He's younger than your LO so he's mostly chewing and spitting things out but some is clearly making its way through him and he's getting more skilled each day.
