Ideas for finger foods?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

So, being a FTM and new to this, I need some help..... DS started eating solids @ 5months, and so far is a rock star at eating his solids- loves veggies, & fruits. Just had his six month check up, and doc said to start giving him finger foods.. I guess it was information overload, ad completely forgot to ask for some ideas.. So what kinds of things should I start giving him?

    So far I've given yogurt puffs and veggie crisps. Definitely going to try other suggestions.

    My LO loves puffs, toast (we started with small pieces, but have graduated to sticks), any veggie or fruit cut up into small pieces and steamed.

    They pretty much use their gums to chew anyway. Some ideas are shredded chicken, baked sweet potato "fries," cooked veggies of any kind, ripe fruits, pasta, pretty much anything you eat as long as it is low in salt/sugar and not a choking hazard nuts, whole grapes, raw carrots, etc. If you do not have allergies in your families you can pretty much introduce just about anything else eggs, peanut butter except honey.


    This. I cook carrots, broccoli, and sweet potatoes all to a soft yet "pick upable" consistency. Bananas and avocados are good too. I try to avoid wheats, grain and rice but DS has had some puffs from grandma. For instance, breakfast was scrambled eggs and banana, lunch was pureed apple's and finger cubes of chicken and dinner was pork chop cubes and carrot cubes. I usually try to keep cubes and chunks about the same size as my pinkie nail.

    I found a good idea on Pinterest, banana egg pancakes - very simple; one ripe banana mashed and mixed with 2 eggs. Fry like regular pancakes. I find this. Makes 5 small pancakes, which are great warm or cold. I have also mixed blueberries in and Hayden as really enjoyed them.
