Michaela has always been a big fan of finger food too. At Ella's age she was having:

cooked peas
baby corn (still a favourite)
baby carrots
luncheon
ham
cheese
cruskits
rice crackers
baked or roast potato's cut into fingers
cherry tomato's (halved)
cut fresh fruit
tinned fruit

That's all I can think of at the mo.]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:08:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=299977&title=finger-food-suggestions#299977 <![CDATA[Finger Food suggestions : Lily likes cooked beans - I buy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298975&title=finger-food-suggestions#298975 Author: miss

Lily likes cooked beans - I buy a bag of frozen baby beans to whiz up for meals and just cooked a few whole and gave them to her and they kept her occupied for ages!

She also likes gnawing on celery sticks.]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 23:15:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298975&title=finger-food-suggestions#298975 <![CDATA[Finger Food suggestions : hash bites - like Burger king...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298917&title=finger-food-suggestions#298917 Author: Bombshell

hash bites - like Burger king do for brekkie! perfect size and great taste Ella loves them and has done for months.

Cook from frozens below- (yes i am often lazy and supplement grannies home cooked veges and roasts with these!)....
Vege fritters - buy in a pack of six
Chicken loopys
Fish fingers
Fish nuggets
Waffles (toaster type!)

also:
pasta spirals - in tomato based sauce
Rice - she loves white rice!
noodles
good old tinned spaghetti
avocado cut into wedges
dairy free icream
jelly
baby yoghurt

and i make sure some of this stuff is bit bigger than our bite size as it seems the perfect size for her to hold and bite off.

and milk arrowroots but we have discovered the mini snack ones and she loves those...and they seem to taste better for some reason?

we arent really doing dairy yet and found only reaction she had was to vomitting after luncheon - too much preservative i guess.

tyde is a wee bit older, but he's been into most of those things above. Also stewed apple pieces (so they are soft) tinned fruits (just the ones in fruit juice rather than syrup, as a bit too much sugar in those) plain biscuits, he loves roasted vegies (just not too hard/crunchy... which unfortunately is the way I end up cooking most of them! ;) ) haha he loves chicken, and now likes sausage (has a few more teeth now)... basically try most of the things we're having... and we eat pretty bland! :)
Tyde went on a food strike at about that age too, but I was able to get him back into my feeding my puttig some of the food on my finger.. and he'd eat it like that for a few goes (funny noises by mum etc) then I'd just start using the spoon and could get a good amount down like that! :)
good luck!]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 20:37:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298842&title=finger-food-suggestions#298842 <![CDATA[Finger Food suggestions : Thanks for the suggestions guys-...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298836&title=finger-food-suggestions#298836 Author: Mum2ET

Brocolli has been a fav in our house too, along with Avo, cucumber, pumpkin etc.
Beef strips were in our house, and the fish fingers.
Frozen peas, rice crackers, banana, carrot, apple, kumara chips...
I would just save something off my plate from the night before so she got used to the foods we typically ate.]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 20:02:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298804&title=finger-food-suggestions#298804 <![CDATA[Finger Food suggestions : Alex always liked fish fingers,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298746&title=finger-food-suggestions#298746 Author: nicolaann

The only other thing I can think of is strips of meat. Spencer gets on quite well with roast chicken, and he is gonna try some roast beef today.
Cucumber, rice crackers and rice cakes are some of Spencers favourites.]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 16:51:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298667&title=finger-food-suggestions#298667 <![CDATA[Finger Food suggestions : you could try giving her the finger...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298651&title=finger-food-suggestions#298651 Author: Bizzy

you could try giving her the finger food while you are feeding her mash and see if she allows that too...

banana - good for experimenting with textures for her

Sam loves peeled sliced tomato (I take the seeds out of this too), slices of avocado, potato hash bites, & I agree the aria farms beef chips are fantastic. Sam gives them a really good go!
Also cooked brocolli, cauliflower,& a favourite is courgette cooked and cut into chip shape.

I'm trying to think what other things we have given Daniel..

Wafers (pink ice cream ones) and we pop a spread on them to get him use to new tastes.
Rice crackers
Hash brown - which sounds totally random but he loooved it
Luncheon - some people are against this but we give it
Any fruit

You could cook up zucchini or anything like that and give it to her to munch on.

Daniel isn't fussy anymore because of his finger foods. It's great. The only thing he isn't keen on is apples. That I can live with ]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 15:59:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298642&title=finger-food-suggestions#298642 <![CDATA[Finger Food suggestions : He sucks and chews on them then...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14366&PID=298641&title=finger-food-suggestions#298641 Author: kebakat

He sucks and chews on them then takes a bite and chews on it in his mouth, some of it he swallows some he spits out. They do go soggy after a while.

Stacey how does Daniel eat the beef chips? After a while do they go quite soft in his mouth?

For the past month or so Ella has been quite fussy with her food, often refusing to eat what I give her (even when I know she likes it). She is however perfectly happy eating finger foods, so I have decided to try and offer her finger foods after every meal in an effect to get her to eat more (and hopefully cut down on her middle of the night milk feeds).  I am also hoping that this will get her to eat more mashed type food as she is being a little fussy about that as well.

So far she has had various types of fruit,,toast fingers, vegemite sandwiches, cruskits with vegemite, arrowroot biscuits, homemade rusks.....but I am after any other suggestions for finger foods for her. In particular does anyone have any suggestions for dinner time? So far I have come up with cooked carrots, cooked kumera (in slices), and meatloaf sliced into fingers (when she is 8 months).....but need some more ideas.

TIA
