Finger food ideas
Does anyone have any ideas ford some finger food recipes? I have, what feels like, the worlds fussiest 9 month old and need some more ideas to feed him. He is a real independant little character and we never were able to get him to take any purees. We ended up having to get a speech pathologist and behavioural social worker to come out and assess him because he refused to eat – turns out that there was nothing physically wrong with him, he just doesn’t like other people feeding him. Once we stopped trying to feed him and started giving him finger foods and allowing him to feed himself he started eating quite well (from 5month to 8.5 months he only put on 300g then in the fortnight since he has been eating finger foods he has put on 400g).
He is still quite fussy – he won’t even try anything that feels slimy/slippery – so that rules out just about every fruit and vegetable, egg, pasta, cheese…however, he loves vege omlettes, pikelets with fruit or veges smuggled in. He also won’t eat anything that is warm so if I cook something I then have to chill it back down again. His favourite foods are toast and watermelon…so thats what most meals end up containing.
Does anyone have any ideas/recipes of stuff that I can make him that he can hold to feed himself?
