From around 6 months, parents are encouraged to introduce soft finger foods into their baby’s diet - either alongside purées or as part of baby-led weaning. Finger foods are the ideal way to introduce babies to different textures and by handing over the reins to your baby you will empower them to work out how to get food to their mouth, break pieces off and chew, and have all-round fun with food! Yet, many parents are naturally cautious about giving finger foods to their children for fear of choking. Equally, once parents have mastered simple finger foods, they often find it a challenge to think-up interesting and nutritious ideas to fuel little ones.

Introducing Annabel’s complete guide to raising independent eaters will steer families through finger foods, helping to nurture a generation of food explorers! From first taste broccoli florets to baked veggie tots…carrot batons to curried bites, this book will be packed with essential advice, tips, visual guides, and delicious recipes.
