I never knew it was a hazard until after I had given it to her- which is weird since I'm sort of paranoid about choking! She definitely had it by around two. I hardly ever eat popcorn though so it's never around the house.

I did see our pediatrician this week and she said no restrictions at this point, she is almost 2 and 3/4.

DH let her eat it at 2. I wasn't ok with it. I am ok with it now at 3.

I gave it to him when he was 3.5 - that was only because I had some (have been snacking on that lately - we don't usually have it in the house before), and DS kept thinking his corn on the cob is "popcorn". So I had to show him what real popcorn looks and tastes like. He still thinks corn on the cob is popcorn though afterwards.

I started around a year and a half because my son wanted whatever I was eating and I went through a popcorn craving phase, but I'd break up the pieces so I knew he wasn't getting a kernel or a piece that was too big.

Same as @pwnstar: , at least 4.

She had it once or twice around 1 5. Now at 2.5 she eats it once or twice a week. She wants to be like Peck from Sheriff Callie lol she knows that we don't eat the "balls".

@Adira: me either. I wasn't even the first to give it to him. I found out it was a hazard after finding out he loves it and decided it wasn't worth backtracking. He's 2.5 now and it's one of the few things he will eat every time

I think around one I would bite off the big fat puffy parts and share it with him when I ate popcorn. Then I found out DH had been giving popcorn to DS on the reg when they went on their Friday father/son bank runs (apparently they give out popcorn out of an old fashion movie popcorn machine in the bank lobby??) after he turned 1!! DH insisted DS was fine and that he always watched him and that he drank a ton of water with it (bc it was salty and buttery, duh). We don't eat it that often but yeah DS is 20 months and I just make sure the popcorn he gets is fully popped and I usually stick it in a snack trap so that it ends up breaking up a bit.

We make air pop a lot and DD2 definitely had it at 1.5. I'm honestly more worried about grapes than popcorn! We're always right there so I'm not worried.
