What should I do if I have a potentially transformative research project that does not seem to fit in any NSF program? Contact any program officer who may have expertise in or near the area of the proposed research.
The average age for introducing finger foods to babies is between 7 and 8 months of age. Some babies begin solid foods by eating âfinger foodsâ rather than pureed foods; this is called Baby Led Weaning. When deciding to offer your baby finger foods, here are a few things to help you determine the right time.
At around 8 to 12 months, your child will begin to use her thumb and index fingers to feed herself, Dr. Chung says. So, believe it or not, it's acceptable for her to start playing with her food using her fingers. Between 13 to 15 months, she will start using a spoon, and by 18 months, she will start using her utensils much more consistently.
