Technique of Complementary
Feeding (cont.):
FINGER-FOODS:
Foods that are meant for fingers are good for
morale.
They make eating easy and fun
Hard foods are good for the baby¶s jaws
They will keep the baby busy during the feed,
thus allowing you to feed him adequately
They will train the baby to feed himself later on
Begin with a raw carrot or an apple
slice; he will deal with it like a toy,
but nicer-tasting than plastic
With practice, the baby learns that he can
get food from a bread crust or a hard dry
toast
Later, the baby will discover that feeding
himself with cut up finger-foods is much
nicer and easier than spoonfuls of lumpy
food
