Do you give your toddler raisins?

Baby Center just sent me an e-mail that mentioned to avoid raisins and dried fruit because of choking hazards. I just cut them in half. Does anyone else do this?

I give raisins whole.

We haven't given DS raisins yet because of the choking hazard.

I wasn't planning on giving raisins yet b/c of the choking hazard.  Apparently FIL took it upon himself to give DD Raisinettes over the weekend.  She did fine with them but I don't think it's a practice that I'll continue.

Yes and she does fine with them.

I give them to her, but I often cut them in half (because one time they "reinflated" in her system and her poop was gross!).

?The word "reinflated" made me laugh so hard! ??

We allow DS to eat them if they are cooked in something but don't give them dried. Not only is it a choking hazard but they can also be damaging to the teeth because they are so sticky. Its not easy to get those teeth brushed well enough.

I give them whole. No problem there.

I don't. I am to scared about choking.

we give both raisins and craisins whole.  I just keep an eye out.  I do cut grapes and hotdogs in qtrs though.
