As far as i was told, you shouldn't give your children eggs until they're a little older, i think there's something in there that isn't good for them. Kids will eat most things at 8 months & should be on meats & stuff around that age. You can mix up anything you like, cook some chicken or any meat, add in some veggies & puree it, there you have a mushy meal, although at 8 months they don't really need puree any more so try something like Toast fingers - make some toast, put on butter, cut off the crusts & slice it in to strips - thats always easy! My daughter used to LOVE spaghetti (the instant canned stuff) & instant noodles at that age - just cut some of them in to small pieces & see how they go! Oh my daughter used to love brocoli & carrot at that age too - just make sure it's boiled & soft, then try a little piece at a time, making it the right size for little fingers to pick up! You can also give them anything you're eating (as long as it's not spicy), just use a blender or something to make it baby safe! Good Luck!

I definitely agree that it should be mashed or blended. Finger foods are a good choice but sometimes the baby doesn't always get them in their mouth so you are not sure of what they ate. But as a supplement at that age is good. Finger foods I gave were Cheerios (cut in 1/2 at first), scrambled eggs, pancakes, cheese, etc. (all broken into little pieces).
