It’s good for babies 6 months and older to eat yogurt because it’s nutritional and beneficial. Yogurt also may make tummies — big and small — happy. There are three main benefits to yogurt. The first is that yogurt is a quick, easy to find, and convenient source of protein.

Hard, sticky, slippery, chunky, and round foods are unsafe for young children because they can easily choke on them. Chunks of nut butters and other sticky foods – such as jelly or gummy candies, dried fruit, and marshmallows – can also get stuck in your child’s throat.

You can give your baby the entire egg (yolk and white), if your pediatrician recommends it. Around 6 months, puree or mash one hard-boiled or scrambled egg and serve it to your baby. For a more liquid consistency, add breast milk or water. Around 8 months, scrambled egg pieces are a fantastic finger food.

New Advice About Eating Eggs Physicians no longer recommended avoiding eggs and other potentially allergic foods in the diets of babies and toddlers. So yes, you can feed your 11-month-old scrambled eggs and you can even use the egg yolks (and some formula, cheese, and butter of course).

By now, your baby’s diet should include grains, fruits, vegetables, and meats, and they should be eating two to three meals a day. In addition to rice, barley, or oat cereal, you can introduce grain products your baby can grab, such as toast, crackers, and dry cereal. Avoid any colorful, sugary cereals.

Some good finger food ideas:

• O-shaped cereal.
• Rice cakes.
• Very ripe, peeled pear or banana pieces.
• Tofu chunks.
• Scrambled eggs.
• Well-cooked/canned green beans.
• Pasta tubes or shells.
• Finely shredded chicken.
