He showed a preference for the chex so that's what we stuck with! Our ped is a big fan due to the high iron content! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-cheerios-no-longer-a-choking-hazard#post-1484521 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:46:04 +0000 mrsjyw 1484521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did puffs early on, but I ddin't get around to buying cheerios until after he turned on. No fear, just was always buying puffs. He had those at six/seven months? He was an early teether tho~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-cheerios-no-longer-a-choking-hazard#post-1484520 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:44:54 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1484520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They definitely ate them before they had teeth, since they didn't get any until 10 1/2 months! I think it was around 7 or 8 months. We gave them Puffs first since they kind of dissolve in your mouth, but after a week or two of that, they were doing fine and we gave them Cheerios. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-cheerios-no-longer-a-choking-hazard#post-1484518 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:44:48 +0000 MrsF 1484518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never worried about actual choking with cheerios. Anything with a hole in it shouldn't present an airway problem. I would offer them early but not handfuls at a time because they don't dissolve as well as puffs or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-cheerios-no-longer-a-choking-hazard#post-1484509 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:41:28 +0000 autumnlove 1484509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 9 months and 6 teeth for LO 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-cheerios-no-longer-a-choking-hazard#post-1484495 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:33:45 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1484495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when did you introduce cheerios? </p>
