Food # 4: Cereals
Dry cereals are excellent finger food because once it enters a child’s mouth, it starts to soften and dissolve. And the good part is that it isn’t choking hazard!
Food # 5: Avocados
This rich source of omega 3 and fatty acids fruit isn’t only delicious, but it can also help boost your baby’s brain. Avocados are often made as one of the first baby finger foods even if your little one has no teeth. Note that avocados can get real messy fast. Snap some hilarious moments to add in the photo album!
Food # 6: Pasta
Though we all cook our pastas al dente, but when it comes to feeding your little one, make sure to overcook it so it’s soft. To start with, cook penne or small kinds of pasta which comes in different shapes. At first, serve it plain, but as soon as your baby is more adventurous, toss the pasta in olive oil or a little tomato sauce.
