Here is a list that I found in one of my baby magazines a while back that has really been helpful in giving me some new ideas for finger food for Emma. I hope this might be helpful to any of you new Moms that might read this.
- Small pieces of string cheese
- Slivered strawberries
- Diced kiwi
- Cooked chickpeas or black beans, mashed
- Diced pieces of well-cooked carrots
- Small cubes of seedless watermelon
- Well-cooked string beans, cut in tiny pieces
- Scrambled eggs (after 12 months)
- Fig Newton, broken into small pieces (one of Emma's favorites)
- Oyster crackers
- Small Jell-O cubes
- Cut-up fish sticks
- Gerber fruit and veggie puffs
- Bite-size pieces of cheese quesadilla with sour cream
- Diced cooked veggies and ranch dressing
- Slivers of fruit with yogurt
- Cubed banana rolled in Rice Krispies
- Graham cracker pieces with cream cheese and fruit spread
- Toast with thin layer of peanut butter (after 12 months)
- Soft granola bars like Nutri-Grain
- Whole wheat minis pancakes or waffles, quartered, with syrup, jelly, or yogurt
This list really helped me get out of a rut of applesauce, peas, crackers, cheese and so on. With Emma I learned that the more colorful the food is...the more likely she is to try it.
