re the sandwich idea - if you do want to go down that rote but are worried that bread might be too thick for him to handle, just give it a good going over with the rolling pin. problem solved!


my nephew is in a big finger food phase atm, he loves cornish wafers (a very thin type of cracker), chicken, fish fingers, marmite on toast - anything which he can handle himself.

What about savoury pastries and HM breadsticks? I've made these for the children I childmind and they've always been a big hit.

Make a basic shortcrust pastry, roll out and sprinkle with finly cut ham and cheese or spread with marmite and cheese, fold, reroll and cut into fingers before baking.

For the breadsticks I make a basic pizza dough, add some grated cheese and herbs. I roll into sausage shaped sections, give them a twist and brush with a little milk before baking. They keep well in an air tight box too - great for taking out and about with you.

thick mashed potatoes are good

i made all my dd's food (totally organic too, shame we can't afford that now)

i also mashed in roasted garlic and very finely chopped onions (sauteed til soft) and now dd loves both


white fish where you've pull off pieces of flesh and throughly checked for bones could be good, a simple introduction to fish (good start in life)
