Guess I will go back to cutting grapes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611828 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:20:55 +0000 Alivoo01 611828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy cow!! I didn't realize how deadly grapes were! Definitely slicing them for quite some time! Sheesh!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611786 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:06:02 +0000 mrs. bird 611786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i also know of a toddler that died chocking on a grape =( because they are spherical they get really lodged in and even if you're able to get it to rotate it, the airway is still covered because it's just spinning and not getting out of the way. even trached on the scene they couldn't get any air to him because it was far down and they just couldn't get it out. i can't imagine going through that. i cut school aged kids' grapes because now i'm so paranoid about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611741 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:54:00 +0000 winniebee 611741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I haven't yet but probably will soon. We don't eat a lot of grapes in the winter and I doubt my son could eat a whole bag in a week so they'd probably go to waste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611731 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:51:52 +0000 autumnlove 611731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I started around 10 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611730 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:51:26 +0000 autumnlove 611730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Ahhhh! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611729 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:51:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 611729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie is 3 and i still cut them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611726 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:49:55 +0000 winniebee 611726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I know. It's awful and I don't mean to scare ppl, but it's the truth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611721 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:49:38 +0000 Weagle 611721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Oh, man. That terrifies me! Slice away then!</p> <p>On a related note, when did you start giving grapes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611700 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:41:00 +0000 plantains 611700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: ack, that is so scary! I guess I'll cutting them until college? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611696 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:39:58 +0000 winniebee 611696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We know a 4 year old that choked to death on a grape. So, I'll be halfing them until grade school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611648 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:26:54 +0000 T-Mom 611648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped cutting them a while ago, and DS is 18 months. But day care sent his grape leftovers cut-up the other day, so it got me thinking that maybe I should go back to cutting them up. Sometimes he gets too excited and doesn't chew his food all the way, so I could see how he may gag a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611631 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:22:20 +0000 Weagle 611631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL still at least halves them for her almost 3 year old. Seems a bit excessive to me, but then again I've never been the parent of a toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-slicing-grapes#post-611606 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 14:14:30 +0000 autumnlove 611606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 14 months with lots of teeth and I still cut them! </p>
