Here is a list of items I used with my daughters! You will know when your baby is ready for finger foods when:

1. they are interested in small objects
2. uses the "pincer grasp" - picks up objects with thumb and forefinger
3. and wants to "do things myself"

• Baby cookies, graham crackers, teething biscuits
• O-shaped cereal
• Cooked pasta pieces
• Rice cake pieces
• Soft fruit pieces: banana, canned peaches and pears
• Small cooked veggie pieces: carrots, potatoes, peas
• Grated cheese and apples
