Cutting Grapes

When did you (or when will you) stop cutting grapes for your little ones?

Re: Cutting Grapes

  • I don't cut grapes for Shannon anymore. I forget when I stopped, but she absolutely has to be seated, and I typically give her one at a time still. I also tend to give her the small ones.I might still cut them if they were humongous.

  • I still cut hotdogs though. Shannon would put the whole thing in her mouth at once if I let her... :-/

  • HA! I still cut them in half for the girls...I think more out of habit...We have to if we bring them for snack at Lily's school so if I cut them for snack I generally just cut the rest...
  • im with shannon, it depends on the size. liam has always been good about not stuffing his mouth too so that helps.

  • I stopped the day I found Jordan had stuffed herself into the fridge and was halfway through a bag of grapes. That was in the apartment & she was walking, so it was over a year ago... I'd say she was probably only 10 months old. If the grapes are really big, I try to cut them, but she's really good about biting them in half and only eating half a grape at a time so often I forget.

     

    I still cut her hot dogs and probably will until she's 30.

  • Gosh Gianna is 21 months and I only cut the really big ones. I think Christian was a little over 2?? We just always gave one at a time and told him to squish it. Oh and like Alicia.....always seated and never walking!

    I find that with Gianna if I cut stuff up for her small she shovels a ton in her mouth.
