At what age did you stop cutting their grapes?

My ds1 is over the age of two now and I still cut his grapes in half to prevent choking.  I am neurotic?

nah...you gotta do what your comfy with...I DO think the recommendation is age 4 TBH...

that said, I only cut DS's about half the time, but I also know that he chews EVERYTHING....and THAT said, DD guzzles and gulps her food, and I don't plan on stopping cutting her grapes anytime soon! lol

Sam probably stopped having his cut sometime before 2 I think. He'd been self-feeding finger food from around 8-9 months and no purees from then. But everyone is going to be different. As Marie says you've got to do what you feel comfy with. If someone cut my grapes now I wouldn't mind!

Riley is 26 months and I still cut them. He has had a few whole ones and seems to manage them fine, but I feel better cutting them, so for my own peace of mind...
