Be careful with the Lil' Crunchies from Gerber

I think they should have made them a bit longer.  DD just put the entire thing in her mouth and almost choked on it. I had to finger swipe it out. 

 

SCARY.

You can just break them into smaller pieces.

Depending on how long each one is, we break them into either two or three pieces.?

We do this.  I wouldn't give the whole thing to DS, it's the perfect choking size

My niece did the same thing. She's 16 months old now and still hasn't grasped the concept of biting her food into pieces. lol

FWIW, they're also not nutritionally that great.

Ditto this. I read the ingredients and decided to pass on these.

  Me too.  I would rather feed her a more healthier cracker.  Most of the Gerber Graduates foods are just as bad as those frozen kiddie meals in the freezer section high in sodium and not much nutrition.

They are the perfect size for choking. I have to let her bite it while I hold it. Nutritionally, yeah, they suck, but DD is slow to catch on to solids and the dissolving nature of these has helped her learn.

Baby junk food - It's amazing they put that crap in there for babies.
