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 the reins to your baby, you will empower them to figure out how to get food to their mouth, break pieces off and chew, and have all-around 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.

Annabel's complete guide to raising independent eaters steers families through finger foods, helping to nurture a generation of food explorers! From first-taste broccoli florets to baked veggie tots...and carrot sticks to curried bites, this book is packed with essential advice, tips, visual guides, and delicious recipes.
