What is finger food?

As the name itself suggests, finger food is something that can be held with fingers for eating. Finger Food examples for kids are- scrambled eggs, dry cereal, biscuits, pasta(healthy-one), cooked veggies, avocadoes, soft fruits, etc. When in the stage of 8-9 months, a baby becomes ready for having finger foods.

As his/her best guide, you need to be calm and patient while teaching the baby how to eat, chew, swallow finger food. Obviously, it is not overnight magic for the baby to learn to eat on his/her own; just be easy-going for things to happen. And no doubt, your little one will not let Mumma and Daddy back off so easily!

3 Quick and Easy Recipes of Finger Food for Babies

Before starting with recipes for baby finger food,take a note that handing over anything to the baby for eating will not help. Slowly and gradually start with each item as the baby needs to develop eating habits, learn to grip, chew, and swallow the food.

A baby's muscles aren't fully developed to hold the food, so try offering (approx. length) 2 inches of finger food.

Steam/Boiled Veggies

Steamed Vegetables

In a pot, add water and let it steam. Till then, cut vegetables (of your choice- carrots, cauliflower, potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, zucchini, broccoli) evenly in equal shape and size. Add the even-cut vegetables and let it get cook until soft. Take them out after done, season with salt and flavor as per taste (light for the baby), and serve warm.

Zucchini Finger Fries

Zucchini Finger Fries

First, preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for a couple of minutes. In a bowl, add breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese powder, pepper, salt, and mix well. Cut zucchini in finger shapes- coat in plain flour, then in milk, and then in the breadcrumbs mixture. In an oven tray, place a butter paper, and one by one, put the finger cut zucchini's and bake for 25 minutes. Then turn the side and cook for 15 minutes. Take out when done and serve with your little one's favorite dip.
