Around 7–8 months, babies begin developing the coordination needed for self-feeding. At this stage, foods should be soft, easy to dissolve, and safe to grasp. Melt-in-the-mouth baby finger foods are ideal because they reduce choking risk while encouraging independence.

These baby puffs are:

• Soft and easy to dissolve in the mouth

• Naturally mildly sweet from fruits and vegetables

• Suitable for babies with few or no teeth

• Perfect for practicing chewing and the pincer grasp
