Baby food (from 8 months)
Soft pieces that babies can sit and pick with themselves are usually a hit from around 8 months of age. It's the perfect way to let your baby practice eating on their own, which is very popular right now. You've heard of the "can do" period, right? This is just the beginning! Here are 5 suggestions for baby snacks that are great to serve from 8 months.
Tips for picking food for baby
Soft fruit and berry pieces
Cut soft fruits, such as ripe peaches, bananas, sharon or raspberries into small pieces that are easy for little hands to pick up and eat.
Avocado butter on soft bread
Spread a thin slice of avocado on soft bread and cut it into small, long pieces. You'll soon have an easily accessible and nutritious snack!
Boiled sweet potato sticks
Cut cooked sweet potato sticks into suitable sizes for small hands. Boiled sweet potatoes have a soft texture and are easy to chew even before all the teeth are in place.
Soft cheese cubes
Cut mild cheese pieces into small dice or cubes. Cheeses are an excellent source of calcium for children aged 6 months and above.
Cooked green peas
Serve small cooked peas as a snack. They are easy to handle and provide a good source of protein and fiber. Feel free to add some butter as a source of fat!
