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.
Introducing New Foods to Your Baby. Once she's a pro at cereal, carrots and applesauce, your baby's ready to move on to new tastes and textures. Those early-bird specials (rice cereal, applesauce, bananas, yellow veggies) get pretty old after a few dozen meals. Spice things up (at around 7 or 8 months) by adding minced meat (chicken, lamb, turkey, or beef), mashed eggs and avocado to her repertoire. By 8 months (and possibly even sooner), whole-milk yogurt, cheese, pasta, beans and tofu can make their debuts, and then finger foods add a whole other dimension to eating.
