choking hazards?
« on: May 20, 2006, 19:20:37 pm »
Joey has four top teeth and two bottom teeth, but he is still mostly on pureed foods.  I'm so afraid he will choke.  I know that grapes are a biggie, what are other choking hazards? How do I know what he can and can't have?

Popcorn, raw carrots, peels on fruit, raisins or other sticky dried fruit, nuts, thick peanut butter, whole grapes, hard candy, and hot dogs that aren't cut into small pieces. Those are the most common choking hazards until around age 3 or 4. HTH!

I have  DD grapes. Just make sure you peel them first, and then cut into small pieces. Yes, it's tedious. That's why I opt to give her things like strawberries which are easier to cut up.  ;) But you have to watch out for rashes with the berries.

I had the choking worry too. I just made sure foods were soft and cut up into small pieces.
