You can begin introducing finger foods when your baby is between eight and nine months old. Your infant will have few, if any, teeth at this age so it's crucial that the texture is soft so he can ';gum'; the foods (some foods will need to be cooked first)





Finger food for babies that are great raw include:





* Banana


* Avocado


* Tofu


* Semi-hard cheeses, such as Jack and Colby (introduce at 12 months)


* ';O'; shaped cereal


* Puffed rice cereal





Finger food for babies that need to be cooked include:





* Apple slices


* Pear slices


* Whole asparagus spears


* Carrots


* Zucchini


* Broccoli


* Sweet potato


* Whole green beans

CRISSCROSS COOKIES:





1/4 cup softened butter or margarine


1/4 cup sugar


1 egg


2 TBSP milk


1/2 tsp vanilla extract


1/2 tsp baking soda


1/4 tsp salt


2 1/4 cups oatmeal infant cereal


Cream butter and sugar together. Add egg and other


ingredients; mix until well blended. Chill dough for


several hours. Form dough into small balls and place


1'; apart on greased baking sheets. Flatten dough with the tines of a fork. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or


until lightly browned. Cool on a cake rack. Makes 2


dozen cookies. 1 cookie supplies 15% of the iron your


baby needs.





TEETHING BISCUITS:


2 TBSP shortening


1/4 cup sugar


1 egg


1 tsp baking powder


1/4 tsp salt


1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract


1 tsp water


1 1/2 cups Oatmeal infant cereal


Cream shortening and sugar together. Add egg and other ingredients. Knead well until smooth. Pat into


rectangle (12 x 2 1/2). Cut into 12 (1 inch) bars.


Smooth edges so they will not be sharp; place on


ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 300 for 45 min or


until golden brown. Store in uncovered container


overnight before serving. Makes 12 biscuits. 1 biscuit


supplies 25% of the iron your baby needs.





**USe at your own risk!





For the babies I have made the crisscross cookies recipe for Isabel, but I used the full amount of sugar (1/2 C) -ive cut that down here
Little gummies (:


Gerber...


Um.


I usually think Gerber


and Fruit Gummys are good.


But, most Gerber stuff isn't finger food.


But most babies finger it anyway.


You could also give him/her a very fresh banana.


If you cut them up.


Perfect.
