The ‘Finger Food 5’

First finger foods offered to babies 6 months+ (and showing all the developmental signs of readiness) should meet the happy feeding company’s ‘Finger Food 5’: 

👌🏻Soft and squishable between your thumb and fore-finger so baby can easily break the food down with their gums

✋🏻Large ideally bigger than babies palm size so they can grab with palms and bring to mouth

🥦Whole foods like well cooked veg and ripe fruit

🌰 No large pips/stones/seeds/nuts

🥩No small round, slippery or hard chunks like tough bits of meat
