Best Baby Swing buying guide and FAQ
What Size Should I make Finger Food?
By the time your baby is ready for finger food, usually any time after 6 months old, he or she is most likely to be using their palm and fingers to clutch objects. The pincer grasp (the use of the thumb and forefinger together to grip items) usually develops at around 10 months of age. Therefore, the most appropriate finger foods are those prepared in sizes appropriate for your own baby – wide enough to grip in their closed palm and just long enough to protrude above their closed fingers with enough length to put into their mouth.
How hard or soft should the food be that I give my Child?
Your baby should be allowed to progress as it becomes right for them to do so.
Start with a range of soft options, naturally moist fruits and vegetables and some which you have softened by cooking. Your baby may spend quite a while ‘gumming’ finger foods to soften them up as they progress. Offer them the opportunity to explore increasingly harder options at their own pace. They will reject what they can’t eat.
Remember, this is a time for you and your baby to ‘enjoy’ the messiness of food, the fun of self-feeding and inspire confidence in both of you.
Conclusion
The introduction of finger food can feel daunting at first and their maybe challenges. However, there is a great deal of support and advice out there, not just online but from health and community professionals and, of course, your family and friends.
With so many new textures to explore, your baby will probably take their time before deciding upon which foods they enjoy, so don’t give up on flavours they may have rejected previously.
To avoid choking accidents, never leave your tot alone when they are eating. Remember to keep kitchen utensils well out baby’s reach and don’t forget the bib!
