Guys how are you supposed to cut a grape for a toddler?

Either in half or in quarters

Just one cut through. I guess you can do quarter cuts if you want to take the extra precaution

Ahhh ok that makes sense.

My husband tried to give her a whole grape and I yelled a him to stop. But then I wasn’t sure how you’re actually supposed to cut it

In half

@p-b-jelly, thank you for that!

I’m assuming I would do the same for olives right?

@mamabear1515 DS shoves handfuls in his mouth at a time so I still do them in quarters because it freaks me out lol

I cut in quarters when they’re big and in half when they’re small.

I always cut it into 4 pieces

@mokimbo my DS absolutely loves grapes. 3 years on the 20th and if i cut them he thinks they arent grapes anymore lol he does well at eating them as is though. Im lucky he hasnt caught on to shoveling them in.. Yet? 😣

@southerngirl.89 Anything shaped in a way that could block the airway. Grapes, olives, hotdogs should be cut long ways in half as well. We get HUGE blueberries so I cut those too.

Ok, I usually cut everything she eats but dh just thinks she can handle everything sometimes.

@mamabear1515 Yet! My mom stopped cutting my brother's grapes when he was 5 because she figured he was old enough. 2 weeks later he choked on a handful and they almost couldn't get them out. I'm pretty sure she cut our grapes until we were 10 after that.

@mokimbo Well now im cutting the grapes 😥

@mokimbo, I’m definitely going to keep cutting them now! I’m always afraid of her choking on things, so there are some things I only give her when dh is home. If she chokes in scared I’ll freeze up but dh is really calm under pressure.

Anything that's circular in shape cut in half.

i bite it in half for my daughter i give her one half and eat the other because we always eat them together
