Once your baby is ready to feed themselves, start with soft foods cut into strips the size of your pinky finger. Try foods like these BLW banana pancakes, scrambled eggs, and strawberries cut into thin strips, or squashed blueberries. Gradually, your little one will naturally practice their pincer grasp and will be ready for smaller pieces they can grab with their fingers when they have developed their fine motor skills. If desired, you can supplement this with pureed foods like homemade unsweetened applesauce until they can feed themselves entirely on their own.
