Squish em!

Squish
I cut grapes into like 4ths

Squish!

I squished once when B was tiny and I thought he would just lick it, or something? Anyway, he inhaled the whole thing and choked/gagged a bit (not full on choking, but more than gagging if that makes sense). So my husband has forbidden blueberries because it freaked him out so bad. We cut grapes into 1/16ths basically.

I might be a little crazy but I cut and squish. My husband just cuts.

I did both, depending on how much effort I wanted to put into it.

Squish! But I prefer giving him frozen wildblueberries which are tiny.

Cut blueberries and grapes.

Neither but I only give her the smaller ones. I cut and peel grapes for her!

I squished blueberries. My mom always cut them for him. Grapes I do in quarters or halves, depending (he is 20mo), and he eats blueberries whole.

We cut them until she was able to handle it. Initially my mom and DH thought it was "totally fine" to give them to her whole at 11 months and of course she choked (like actual choking) because no one likes to listen to me! So after that we cut them. Then cut just the bigger ones, then eventually stopped cutting them.

When she was younger and not as good at chewing (like under 14 mo... she got a really slow start on solids) I cut them in half because I know she did not always chew her food and often just swallowed it. Just in the last few weeks we have started giving them to her whole because she definitely chews thing well now. But I still only give her one at a time if I'm doing that because she has a tendency to shove a lot of something in her mouth otherwise and I don't trust her to chew them all that way. And also when there are the big monster blueberries I cut those or I eat them myself

Squish blueberries.

ha never occurred to me that I could just squish them. I have always cut them in half.

I cut them in the very beginning (some of the Costco or TJ blueberries are HUGE). Then after the first couple months, I smushed.

huh, it never occurred to me to squish them.... I've always cut, which is a pain in the neck. I'm excited to try squishing and see how he does!

I quarter them for my 10 month old. I know it's probably overboard but gah food/choking cause me so much anxiety!!

Squish?! What is this squishing blueberries??

I always cut them for older DD. Younger isn't there yet.

S I gave them while/u swished because he loved stuff that "popped" in his gums - I cut in 1/2 for D because u find it just as fast as squishing and she is a food shover and also likes to cheek food.
