Fruity sticks
Fruity sticks can be ready in a flash, and are perfect for introducing your baby to the fun of finger foods.
Age: 6 months or older
Prep: 2 mins
Portions: 1
Ingredients
- ¼ medium banana
- 1 tbsp full-fat yoghurt (optional) – put this in a bowl for your baby to use as a dip
Method
Peel the skin and slice lengthways into four finger sticks. The sticks should be long enough for your baby to hold in their hand with the top of the banana sticking out.
Put the sticks on a plate so your baby can feed themselves. Cover any leftovers and store in fridge.
Information:
Try other types of fruit, such as orange segments, strawberries, soft ripe pear, plums, nectarines or tinned fruits (drained).
Weaning tip
Finger foods help babies get used to different textures and also help develop hand-eye coordination.
