When giving sandwiches what are the best fillings for them? My LO is 10 months but I’m very anxious about choking although he is a very good eater

I’ve just been doing cheese, was thinking maybe chicken slices I cut my sandwiches into finger ones

I do boiled mashed peas/broccoli with cream cheese, mashed up boiled egg, mashed up boiled chicken with yoghurt and potatoes basically just ensuring the filling is all mashed up 😂😂

We’ve been doing ham, grated cheese, cream cheese, peanut butter, chicken slices, cheese slices, egg mashed up with a bit of butter to bind it together, mashed banana.
I cut my LG sandwiches with cookie cutters so they are a good size but fun shapes for her 😊 x

My LG loves tuna, I put a tiny bit of mayo in it. I also toast the bread lightly first

I generally just do Philadelphia with mashed avocado. I flatten the bread slightly before I make it and then cut it up into little bite size squares and she seems to chew it up really easy

My daughter isn’t a massive fan of sandwiches but when she does have them we usually do. Either cheese. Or soft cheese and grated cucumber

Cheese, ham, cheese spread, peanut butter, whatever I can find really!
Thank you for all the suggestions. I haven’t tried him with peanut butter yet as I’m so nervous for a reaction. What’s the best way to let him try it?

I did a thin layer on toast

I put a tiny bit on a sweet waffle

It’s important to introduce allergens early because it lessens the chance they’ll develop an allergy. Then keep offering them once known they’re tolerated. I know it’s scary though 🙏🏼 if you have a family history of allergies, particularly nut allergies, chat to your doctor first.
