Lurker with BLW questions

BuckeyeBride200

LO is 8 months and we are doing BLW. Can I give him blueberries whole, or do I need to cut them (like people do grapes)? What about raspberries? Are the considered an allergen like strawberries? 

 I am also interested in what you are sending to the babysitter's for LO. I think I am getting into too much of a rut. What are you sending that is easy to prepare, yet offers variety?

 

TIA!

I cut them in half, otherwise she can't break into them and would just try swallowing them whole.

I SAH, but DD and I generally have leftovers for lunch. I have a variety of fruits, cheeses, good crackers (not Ritz) with hummus, and veggies on hand if there doesn't seem to be anything around.
