Safe Finger Foods for Toddlers
Toddlers often display picky eating habits. Finger foods are a fun way for toddlers to exert their independence while consuming the nutritional foods they need to stay active. It is important to choose finger foods that are both healthy and safe for toddlers. Many foods may cause choking hazards. Finger foods allow your toddler to continue improving her fine motor skills through grasping and manipulating the food to her mouth.
Dinner Ideas for Toddlers
After a long day, the last thing you want to do is argue with your toddler over what he will have for dinner. While it may be tempting to give in and serve chicken nuggets or peanut butter and jelly every night, healthier options that appeal to toddlers do exist. A fun and healthy dinner will make everyone happy. Many of these toddler-friendly dinner ideas are also appealing for the rest of the family.
Infant Finger Food Ideas
Finger foods offer an infant the chance to practice her independence by feeding herself. Finger foods also improve an infant’s fine motor skills. While it is exciting to see your infant reach new milestones, finger foods should not be rushed. Any food is a potential choking hazard to an infant learning to self feed. Starting finger foods too early can increase the risk of choking. Always supervise your infant while she eats finger foods.
