Baby's First Finger Foods

Cards - each pack includes 100 cards, each card is 4" x 9" and will fit into a WIC folder, #10 envelope or display case. Full color on both sides. Available in English and Spanish.

Most 8 to 10 month old babies like to feed themselves - this is a good time to start finger foods. Encourage parents and caregivers to choose soft, cooked, chopped or mashed fruits and vegetables, crackers, puffed cereal and pieces of toast. Helpful tips such as if the parent or caregiver is unsure if a food is soft enough, be safe and mash it more. Bring an older baby in their highchair to the family table, and offer a taste of table foods without the salt, sugar and seasonings. Always stay with baby while they are eating.
