I don't consider myself a paranoid mom but grapes are one of the few things I will keep cutting in half for a while! delight on "How old is your lo and do you cut their grapes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-you-cut-their-grapes/page/2#post-2322870 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 05:25:33 +0000 delight 2322870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MrsB2012: that little boy died :( This is a big discussion at our house. After reading about the little 2 year old at Pizza Hut who just passed away after choking on a grape, I'll be cutting up LOs grapes. My DH recently has stopped and I have been bugging him about it. Our LO loves being a big girl and not having her food cut up but the thought of choking terrifies me. sungirl on "How old is your lo and do you cut their grapes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-you-cut-their-grapes/page/2#post-2322869 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 05:21:58 +0000 sungirl 2322869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes to grapes and hot dogs and they are 3 and 1. My managers 5 year old just choked on a grape at the beach this summer, but they were able to get it out. My Mom was always so paranoid about choking so I guess it's instilled in me.

Anything that can conform to or that is the right size/:shape to be able to fully occlude an airway is potentially unsafe. :sad: hellocupcake on "How old is your lo and do you cut their grapes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-is-your-lo-and-do-you-cut-their-grapes/page/2#post-2322835 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 02:05:42 +0000 hellocupcake 2322835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @catomd00: I immediately thought this thread was in response to that.

DH never cuts them, though. I also try to cut cherry tomatoes but she loves the "pop" they make in her mouth when she bites into them, so half the time she won't eat cut ones. She's never allowed to have these things unsupervised or anywhere other than at the table, though.
