This is a list of snacks for older babies that have
already been eating purees for some time and are ready for some finger
food. When introducing a new food to your baby, make sure to offer it
for at least four days, preferably for a week, to test for allergies to
that food. Don't introduce any other new foods during that time;
otherwise, you won't be able to determine how your baby reacts to a
particular food, and pinpoint the source of allergic reaction if such
reaction occurs.
Small dices of ripe bananas
Small pieces of avocado
Squished blueberries
Small dices of soft steamed carrots (make sure to
let any cooked food to cool down before giving it to baby)
Small pieces of ripe pears
Small pieces of soft steamed apple
Soft steamed peas cut in half
Small pieces (1/4 - 1/3 of an inch) of soft cooked
potatoes
Small bits of soft steamed green beans
Banana-avocado puree (very nutritious and yummy!)
Infant cereal mixed with apple
sauce (or any other fruit puree)
As your baby gets older, and more foods and food
groups have been introduced, you can start giving small pieces of table
foods, as long as they are well cooked and soft. Avoid foods that can
cause choking, such as grapes, hot dogs, raw vegetables, etc.
