Yep. If they're ready for solids, they're ready for finger foods. With sweet potato I cut it in little sticks and wedges so dd could pick them up.

Angela, I have noticed that you are always present in the baby eating solids threads. I understand your position about solids, I'm just curious why you are so passionate about it? I'm wondering if there is a story behind the passion. Alicia

After trying and trying to get my dd to eat "baby foods" I started reading and thinking more. I try to approach things from a biological perspective. It makes no sense for humans to be spoon fed the amounts that are normal in our society. No other animal feeds its young like that unless they are biologically designed to do so (wolves for example, regurgitate, as do some birds) Humans are clearly not designed to be fed more than a taste here and there of mashed stuff. Beyond that biologically they should eat what they can feed themselves. I think our culture has brain washed this out of us.
No specific links, but a lot of general research and thought.

I respect your advice in this area, and wish I had it available when my dd refused solids in her first year of life.

I genenrally agree with this. My dd seems to prefer finger foods. My twins didn't care if it was mushed or not, but they weren't too into solids before 10 months or so. Rivka is starting to get into solids (she's 8.5 months).
On a side note, I was at the zoo about a month ago and I saw a kangaroo feeding her joey in the pouch. She was picking up grass etc and putting it in the joey's mouth
