Non-Choke Baby Foods that Dissolve in Baby's Mouth

I am still nervous when it comes to finger foods with my 9 month old.  I see moms doling out cheerios and cheese sticks but I really worry that my little one hasn't quite mastered chewing, or gumming, despite my instructions to "chew chew chew" every time I put a teeny pea sized portion of something in her mouth.  Fortunately, my baby will not go hungry these days with so many healthy organic melt in baby's mouth treats available.  Here are three of my favorites. 

1) Happy Melts Yogurt Treats - these freeze dried drops of real yogurt are fun for gumless babies as the yogurt dissolves right into baby's mouth after the first 3 or 4 gums.  Available in delicious flavors like strawberry and banana mango, your little one's tastebuds will be delighted as the burst rewards their mission to get the treat inside their mouths. 

2) Happy Baby Organic Puffs - available in banana, apple and veggie flavors, these little puffs dissolve in baby's mouth while allowing them to practice their pincher grasp.  My daughter uses one index finger to pull the puff towards her thumb and sometimes ends up with puffs stuck in her fist as she tries to manuever them into her mouth.  Practice makes perfect. 

Hot Kid Organic Mum Mums3) Hot Kid Organic Baby Mum Mums - available in banana and veggie flavor, these are really a favorite because the size of the rice rusk is nice and long, looks a bit like a cookie surf board and keeps your baby entertained for a longer period of time than organic puffs that end up all over the floor.  I will hand our daughter a mum mum when she is cranky and I need to distract her for 5 minutes before we can leave a restaurant.
