Snack Recommendations

My son loves freeze dried fruit, the "that's it" fruit bars, and harvest Snaps

My son loves fruit & cucumbers, for shelf life stuff we love fresh bellies freeze dried fruit, cerebelly bars, three wishes cereal, little bellies snacks, lesser evil snacks (he loves the space balls) & holle biscuits. The three wishes cereal, holle biscuits & lesser evil snacks we get at whole foods, the rest between target & walmart

@Stephanie lol I've literally never heard of any of those snacks! I'll have to try to find them!

Mini baby charcuterie board (meat, cheese & crakers) Any type of fruit and nuts (my LO is into bananas & pistachios rn) Annie’s cheddar bunnies or trader joe’s cheddar rockets Hummus w/ pita, chips, pretzels, veggie sticks etc.

@Rhianna can they have nuts now? I'm scared to give him anything chokeable lol

Mines been eating nuts for a few months now I think. As long as he can chew and has enough teeth he should be fine. The first few times I watched & I still pay close attention/listen, but honestly I knew my kid could chew and swallow, spit stuff out and drink water to help wash food down as needed. We went through a period of time where he would shove a lot of food in his cheek which we worked through by giving him only one nut or cracker at a time and making sure he chewed and swallowed before he got another. He learned very quickly bc he hated only getting to have one at a time/he likes to hold extras in his hands. If you are worried and don’t feel comfortable, you can also use nut butter. There are a lot of options nowadays. You could do something like ants on a log which is celery that you fill with peanut butter and then stick raisins on top

I get a bunch of the freeze dried snacks and add it to a box of Cheerios in a container. He loves it.
