Finger Foods for Your Baby or Toddler.

We are back from vacation and getting organized! I am missing the beautiful scenery in Traverse City, MI!I can’t wait to share our adventures this week with you. Here’s a couple of pictures to get you excited..

As much as I love taking trips it is so nice to be home, and especially nice to sleep in my own bed.

Today I thought I would share foods that I have fed my one year old. I am part of a Mom’s group on Facebook and have noticed that many Moms struggle with what to feed their baby or toddler, especially on-the-go including me. Yummy, healthy food is a big part of my life and my family’s life. I want to instill this in my children and with all of the processed food out there I have really tried to keep my babies food natural with the least additives I can. Vegetables and fruit are my favorite foods so it is important to me that my baby learn to love these too (I know this is a lofty goal as some kids just don’t love certain foods!) This can be especially hard when you are on-the-go and need easy foods. I hope this list can be a resource for the foods you feed your baby.

I am not an expert on food for babies I am just offering up suggestions…these foods are more geared towards a baby that has been eating finger foods for a little bit. Talk to you pediatrician about when to start baby on food and how to introduce them as I am no expert! All babies are different in terms of allergies so be careful when introducing new foods. Also, make sure everything is cut small so the baby does not choke.
