I do. I cut them if they are perfect little circles. If they are the big, fat, long ones, I let it go. I used to be the mom that cut blueberries... haha.
Do you still cut grapes/other choke hazards?

No - I stopped around 2.5-3. But I too used to cut blueberries

Lo is 2.5 and I don't cut her grapes anymore, she takes bites out of them rather than eating them whole anyway

Yes, hot dogs to. She will stuff her mouth full of both so I am still paranoid.

Yes at almost four. She could probably manage but winniebee has a sad story that I think of everyone every time i get grapes and with two little ones in the house it's just safer lest they share.

Yes and she is 4.5y. Mostly because I'm still cutting them for the 2yo, and because of a sad story about a neighborhood boy from earlier this spring

I do about 3/4 of the time (grapes and grape tomatoes). LO is a pretty safe eater but I am paranoid! I always still cut hot dogs and LO has only had popcorn once. I wish I could relax a little about this stuff but the sad stories are always in the back of my mind.

Nope, but she takes cute little dainty bites! I only just started letting her have popcorn (3 years).

Yes but mostly because I have a 2 year old that stuffs his mouth and steals food from his brother's plate.
grapefruit / 4903 posts
Yes at almost 4, but mostly because when I don't, her little sis wants "my big" too.

No, I stopped around 2.5, she started to refuse to eat anything I cut so she knows she needs to chew properly. We've never had any issues.

T doesn't eat grapes. But I'll be cutting them lengthwise....forever? I know a girl that died from choking on a grape at age 5.
