Top Ten meals to give your baby when he starts eating with fingers

Have you discovered that your baby now tries to eat by himself? Those are great news, since it is the first step to reach the goal of having them their meals all by themselves. We must be glad and encourage them to practice their skills with their fingers and their mouth. And we must pick the right food to do so. Here´s the top ten list for that:

Bananas
Bananas are indeed one of the first meal every baby is allowed to eat. And still, when they start trying to start eating with their fingers, it is one of the best options. Healthy, easy to hold and to chew.
Cooked peas
One of the most easy-to-prepare vegetables, kids love to pick them from their plates and take it to their little mouths. Quite easy to chew too.
Baby cookies
There are several brands such as Mum-Mum. These vegetable cookies for babies are healthy, clean, tasty and they soften with the saliva of the baby, so it's really easy for them to eat it, even when they have only few or no teeth.
Peach
One of the most delicious fruits, the peaches are top favorites for the kids. It's highly recommended that you give the whole fruit to your baby, wo he can learn how to deal with it. The only bad side is the mess on the table and on their clothes.
Shredded chicken
Great nourishment for the kids. The chicken is not as easy to chew as some fruits like banana, so keep in mind: the younger your kid is, the smaller the pieces should be.
Cooked lentils
Useful, easy to prepare and full of vitamins, you must give your baby lentils very often, in order to keep them healthy. And they like grabbing them and train their skills.
Macaroni
We could not forget about the pasta. Macaroni with cheese is one of the most popular meals in the world, and even babies can eat it with pleasure because of the soft texture of the food.
Carrot
This vegetable is great to serve along with almost any meal. The bright color always catch up the attention of babies during lunch.
Tofu in cubes
From Japan, the Tofu (some kind of cheese made of soy) has a sober flavour, a soft mass and high protein value. Some kids don't like it, but if your baby does, bon apetit!
Cheese
Give your baby different kind of cheese from time to time. Slice it in squares and you will see how fast it will disappear. Great value in calcium and vitamins.
