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.
By the time babies are around 9 months old, they usually have the dexterity and coordination to take food between forefinger and thumb so that they can try feeding themselves with their fingers. You may want to provide a safe baby spoon as well, though it might be some time before your baby gets the hang of it.
