Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 You can try giving him grapes cut into small pieces, Kiwi fruit, Cheese stick, banana chips, corn chips, boiled carrots, apple. Basically you can give him anything which is not hard to eat. --- Jenny Rieck <jennrieck wrote: > I have a 9 month old son. Any advice or suggestions > on > first finger foods?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I started giving my daughter tofu cubes and chickpeas around that age and now she will gladly eat and tofu dish I make. Earth's Best has a few cereals that are really good for finger foods. Its also good to start giving your son a liitle taste of whatever you are eating. --- Jenny Rieck <jennrieck wrote: > I have a 9 month old son. Any advice or suggestions > on > first finger foods?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Some of the first finger foods I gave to my son (now 18 months) were small chunks of banana, avocado, and kiwi. I rolled the pieces in wheat germ so they weren't so slippery - which also added extra nutrition. There are also lots of organic varieties of Cherrio-type cereals that you can find in the health food stores. Regards, Heather in MN > > > > I have a 9 month old son.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 here are some of the things that I gave my son 1) boiled veggies/fuits (like carrot, beans, peas, pears, apples etc) do not over boil them, and you can add a pinch of salt for veggies if you desire. 2) rice cake (you can get recipe from http://www.indianchild.com/Recipes/mini_meals_recipe/idli_recipe.htm) 3) Cherios and Rice puffs are some good snacks also check out this website http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/ _____ Message: 5 Tue, 27 Sep 2005 17:59:06 -0700 (PDT) Jenny Rieck <jennrieck first foods I have a 9 month old son.

All those cereails are not totally vegan. They all are sweetened with white processed sugar. Processed through bone char. Plus the fruit loops color I believe is non vegan.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yes! Super Baby Food is wonderful! I wouldn't have gotten through the " beginning on solid foods " period without that book. There is plenty of info on nutrition. I use the recipes for my family members of all ages. , TheNutritionNut <thenutritionnut> wrote: > Pick up the book called Super Baby Foods. It's great and advocates vegetarianism.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 From a very early age (can't exactly remember when but it was around six months), my son ate small pieces of veggie burger, cooked green beans, cubes of tofu, and lots of Oatios. Also cooked whole wheat pasta in shapes like rotini that were easy for him to hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Organic Oatios, toast cut into cubes, little banana or pear pieces, avocado chunks, graham crackers, any kind of cracker pieces that dissolve easily, soft melon, steamed tofu pieces... Have fun! Amy On Thursday, September 29, 2005, at 02:18 AM, wrote: > Message: 5 > Tue, 27 Sep 2005 17:59:06 -0700 (PDT) > Jenny Rieck <jennrieck > first foods > > I have a 9 month old son.
