A few small pieces before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1364120 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:27:30 +0000 brownie 1364120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very early but my pediatrician says not before 5 years old. The only child she has seen pass away aspirated on popcorn. We call it his bucket of patience at Disney. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1364106 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:25:26 +0000 BananaPancakes 1364106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been giving popcorn to him since 16 months or so. He's had first molars since 14 months, so he was able to eat most anything, and now at 21 months he has all his teeth, so popcorn is still on the list. It's one of the only things he really loves to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1364090 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:21:25 +0000 luckypenny 1364090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She eats pirates booty around 18 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1364089 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:21:22 +0000 bpcmarj 1364089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just very recently since she JUST got molars. Before that we wouls only give her the popped part (no kernel) in small pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1364078 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:18:39 +0000 Weagle 1364078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've torn pieces up and given them to her, but I've never let her have a whole piece. It scares me so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1364076 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:16:46 +0000 cascademom 1364076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still waiting on it at 17 months old. LO stuffs his mouth full, so I'm not taking that chance until he chews better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1364075 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:16:27 +0000 Mamasig 1364075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months. I was surprised he ate it well, but he did. But by that age, he had about 14 teeth with 2 more popping out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1364055 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:09:47 +0000 Mommy Finger 1364055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm waiting until he has molars </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1364011 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:02:28 +0000 sandy 1364011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 22 months.

They gave some to DD even though I had told them not too. We couldnt keep her hands out of the bowl. She handled it just fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1363956 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:52:36 +0000 yoursilverlining 1363956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe around 14-15 months? We've never had a choking incident with popcorn and LO loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1363951 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:51:50 +0000 regberadaisy 1363951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 16 months? I think it depends on the LO! M has always been a really good chewer and knows her own limits. She loves loves air pop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/popcorn-what-age#post-1363940 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:50:13 +0000 Ms.SK 1363940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say around 1.

I'm nervous it's a choking hazard but know many other moms that offer it already at this age.</p> <p>What age did you offer popcorn? </p>
