At 3, I still cut my lo's grapes. I also won't let her suck on hard candies. I cut anything that is small and round before she eats it. I'm a paranoid mom, though.
-
Same! Xander's 2.5 and we cut his grapes (and grape tomatoes). I don't trust my Heimlich abilities so I don't want to risk any choking.
-
Grapes and hotdogs will be cut up for a longgg time in my house. They're 3 and 1 right now.
-
DS is 2 and I don't cut his grapes. Haven't since he was probably 1?
-
3 1/2 and 23 months and no.
-
@jmarionsmith: oh yeah, hot dogs too!
-
Yup still cut.
-
Yes. She's 2.
-
I will cut her grapes until she's like 20! Lol she's 3 right now. I don't cut hot dogs though. You mean like a hot dog on a bun? How do you even cut that?
-
My 2.5 year old wont eat grapes if they are cut. I only let him have them when I am watching him like a hawk!
I do cut then up into tiny pieces for my 10 month old! -
3, and no, I don't.
-
LO will be 2 next month and I only cut grapes of we are taking them for a snack on the go and she will be eating them in her car seat. Otherwise, I just give them to her whole.
-
@yellowbird: I'm a weirdo and I slice it lengthwise. So it still fits in the bun.
-
3, and no... I don't cut his hot dogs either.
-
He's 2.5 and I still cut his hotdogs length wise but he doesn't eat it in the bun anyway. I do not cut grapes at home but if I am sending them for daycare I do cut them once in half length wise.
-
Almost 3 and I still cut them. I just stopped cutting blueberries a few months back
-
Just about 3 and I still cut them. I think I will until he's 5!
-
Almost 3 and just recently stopped cutting them. Unless we're eating on the go/in a car seat, and then I still cut them.
-
3.5 and yes. We know a 5 year old who choked to death on a grape so I will cut for a long time.
-
13 months, and I cut anything circular: grapes, grape tomatoes, bananas, hot dogs...
-
she's 3 and I haven't cut up for over a year. She would refuse to eat them when I cut them up.
-
DS is 2, and I've never cut up grapes.
-
17 mo and I cut her grapes in 1/4ths. She doesn't really chew her food that well sometimes though.
-
@winniebee: yes! MIL is a nurse and told me about a 4 year old that died on his birthday from choking on a hot dog. Just not worth it.
-
1.5 and 3 and cut long ways then again. I'm paranoid.
-
She's almost 3 and I cut them in 4ths most of the time! I swear the grapes at our grocery store are gigantic. I don't see myself stopping any time soon. My LO will even point out pieces to me that she thinks are too big! If she wouldn't eat them cut up, I just wouldn't give her grapes.
-
3 and 17 months - yes and if they are extra big, I cut them in 4ths. I'm sure I'll keep doing it for a while. DS1's tonsils are huge and the ENT said to watch out when he eats. There isn't a lot of space in his throat so he could choke easily.
-
Yes, absolutely.
-
Uhoh I don't cut her grapes and she's only 17 months! Now Im thinking maybe i should. She's really good about chewing so i hadnt given it much thought before.
-
23 months and nope, don't cut. Haven't cut them for months and months.
-
Almost 3 and no. Although the I do still cut them if I'm sending them in her school lunch.
-
Nope. I might have when she was a baby, but not anymore.
-
DS is 3 1/2 and I haven't cut grapes or hot dogs in at least a year. Obviously I still cut them up for DD who is 10 months!
-
21 months. Do not cut. I think we stopped cutting at 16 months? I should probably cut them.
-
4 and yes but only because daycare won't give it if it's not,so I'm in the habit!
-
3 and 14 months and I've never cut their grapes.
-
2 and just recently stopped cutting grapes.
-
20 months and yes!
Did you hear about the child who died after choking on a grape at Pizza Hut? Very sad!
-
DS is only 13 months, but I'll be cutting grapes and the like until he's at least 5! I'm paranoid.
-
He's 1.5 and I cut and will for a long time. A grape is a perfect size to get lodged in their throat and it's almost impossible to get it out. I just read about it yesterday again and need to ensure DH is on the same page.
