Feeding Question- bite sizes?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

DD just turned 12 months. We are still cutting all her food up into small pieces. I see some people are feeding toast and bagels. Are you tearing them up, or giving them whole to the baby, and letting him/her take their own bites? I don't think DD is ready for that yet, because she still stuffs so much in her mouth that she chokes if we let her, but I was curious about others.

Obviously I know things like grapes and hot dogs and such need to be cut up, I'm talking about less "chokeable" foods.

    I have to cute everything up.  My DD also stuffs all of it into her mouth until she can't anymore.  It scares the crap out of me.

    Glad to know Addie isn't the only vacuum cleaner around here. Lol.

    Your DD is adorable! I love her name too. Olivia is on my list in case we ever have another DD.

    For us it really depends on the situation.  If we are feeding dd on the go, we will giver her a something to hold and nibble on (a piece of bread, etc) but if we are sitting down at a high chair and table we will cut things up for her and allow her to eat off a fork or self feed w/ her fingers.  BUT, this is b/c dd has lots of teeth and has shown us that she won't stuff her face and gag.  I think it just really depends on the kid, kwim?

    We still cut everything small - blueberries in half and everything else pretty small. The only thing I let her hold and bit is a ritz cracker.
