My 8 and a half month old is mostly rejecting being spoon-fed now, so I'm having to think of more fingerfood ideas as main course, rather than just for snacks.
I came up with the idea of making little stuffing balls. I have a packet of Sage & Onion stuffing mix which has no artificial additives, that I'm thinking of mixing up with milk and chicken stock rather than just water. However I'm not sure whether sage is suitable. I don't really have any knowledge of herbs and spices. Anyone know whether I can give sage to my baby. Or what about other flavour stuffing mixes?
My second question is regards some of the baby fingerfood products that are labelled as only being suitable for over 12 months old. Is this just because of the choking risk or is there any other reason? My little one will be 9 months in less than 2 weeks time. He already has 7 teeth and I think that supervised he could possibly try a cereal bar or biscuit. I'm thinking of either Organix, Cow & Gate, Peter Rabbit or Heinz ones specifically aimed at toddlers. Before I buy some, can anyone tell me some good reasons why not?
