    Finger Food

    I'm just wondering when is the right time to give DS finger foods? He's over 7 months now & he's having minced texture foods. If I let him get to the bowl he just sucks on the sides. He isn't interested in touching any food left in it.
    Do I take this to mean he isn't ready for finger food? I must admit, this whole solids caper is sooo stressful!!

    I would be offering some finger foods and see how he goes. Tristan (now 9m) loves bits of sausage, steak, cooked carrot, cauliflower, bits of toast, anything that can go in the mouth does lol.

    Maybe check out the Baby Led Solids section.
