2. Round toasted-oat cereal

4. Ripe bananas
5. Cooked mashed vegetables

Foods to avoid.
Some nutritious, seemingly safe finger foods are unsafe because they pose a choking danger. If your baby has only her front teeth, she’s capable of biting off a chunk of an uncooked carrot. But she can’t actually chew it up, which means she could choke on it.
Finger foods are a great way to provide her nutrition as well as develop her motor skills. Choose the right foods and help her grow into a healthy and happy baby.
