I gave them to LO at that age..they crumble easily so I wasn't concerned. She gagged on puffs a few times when she ate them too fast.

I buy the whole wheat Ritz crackers and C LOVES them. She will dig through the diaper bag to find the bag I keep in there. You dont have to break them up because they crumble and dissolve.

I did not give Wagon Jr. ritz crackers til he was well over 2! I think I was always afraid to give him anything with salt or flavoring. Poor kid ate nothing but bland, bland, bland.

That was me as a nervous first time mom. Now I get annoyed when he wants to pick the salt off of a ritz cracker. Of course. LMW will be getting ritz crackers from the beginning.

@sarac: I know. I was paranoid that once he tasted flavor, he'd get picky and not want anything that was plain. Little did I know it would lead to him not wanting anything with any sauce or flavor on it!!

I'd have no hesitation choking-hazard wise. They get so mushy so quickly!

@mrs. wagon: Oh, I always hate to hear that! I think the advice to feed your baby bland things is SUCH a bummer. I mean, I guess it's true - babies like what they have. My daughter does reject bland food. I'm fairly strict about not putting cheese on veggies, not always mixing fruit with yogurt, basically not ruining her taste for fruits and veggies. But spice! Flavor! Spice of life and such.

i think that personally i would ask daycare to feed them a different cracker, there's nothing wrong with ritz per say, but maybe in my head i class them under 'junk food' crackers, so would be more wary of it, since i don't plan to give LO yummy junk food till later
no judgement though, just what i would do!
the texture of ritz would be perfect for that age, though! melty!

I personally wouldn't because of the salt content.
