Creativity Search: CALLING ALL MOMS

Mother of 2 seeks new HEALTHY baby finger foods for 8 month old whom demands self feeding (will strave self if "forced" to be be fed via bottle or spoon)

Ok all of you moms, dads and baby/toddler feeders out there. 2 of us moms of 2nd babies are stumped. We NEED baby finger food suggestions. Already tried and true: broccoli florets, frozen peas, pastina noodles, toast, puffs, cheerios (and the like), potatoes, carrots. NEED NEW SUGGESTIONS, and not snacks. We're talking the real deal here.

This may cause you to drop over during diaper changes but my guys really liked the beans in chili; it didn't matter what kind. Have you tried raisins yet? Could she manipulate shredded cheese? Pulled chicken or pork? Whole wheat crackers?

Oh, one more...
1 can packed pumpkin
1 box of carrot or spice cake (we used chocolate too but that stains)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

mix well, I add raisins because the boys like dumping them in the bowl.

I use small muffin tins and can get 15-18 muffins out of it.

350 for 35 minutes.

Crumble it up and enjoy! The boys LOVE it and these muffins are LOADED with fiber. :)

bread sticks (the soft kind), cheese sticks, uncured hotdogs (if you are ready to give her meat), smoothie pops, sweet potato fries, sticky rice (Chinese style), mango slices, cucumber slices.
