Finger foods for babies and toddlers

Finger Foods for Babies and Toddlers by Annabel Karmel answers parents' common questions about introducing finger foods: What foods are best for my baby? How can I prepare them safely? What should I avoid? How do I move on from single foods, and how can I encourage my baby to eat veggies?

From around 6 months, parents are encouraged to introduce soft finger foods into their baby’s diet—whether alongside purées or as part of baby-led weaning. Finger foods are perfect for introducing babies to a variety of textures, empowering them to explore food by grasping, breaking pieces, and learning to chew. While many parents are understandably cautious about choking risks, and may struggle to find creative ideas after mastering the basics, Annabel’s book is here to guide and inspire.

With over 30 years of expertise, Annabel provides essential advice, invaluable tips, and delicious, nourishing recipes suitable for babies from 6 months and up. Discover exciting recipes that may become family favorites, from Tofu and Veggie Stars to Eggy Raisin Bread, Cottage Pie Bites, and Prawn and Sweetcorn Pops.

This book also includes air-fryer-friendly recipes and key nutritional information, offering everything parents need to make simple, nutritious meals and snacks to support their little ones in becoming confident, independent eaters.
