Dried fruit is a no-no?

I'm reading that it's a choking hazard because it can gather in their throats.  Ds loves raisins, though.  What's the story on it?

    I've never heard that. DS eats raisins daily, dried apples, bananas, blueberries, cherries, strawberries, cranberries. We have had no problems.

    DD does well with raisins.  I see how it could be a choking hazard, but if DC has teeth and is good w/ chewing then I'm sure it's fine.

    I have never heard that.  DS loves dried apricots and if I tired to cut them out of his daily routine I think he'd freak.  Like pp said, they are healthy and I'd rather him that then some other things.  Just monitor them like all food is my opinion...maybe not a popular one, but that's mine.

    we feed them to my son, however he doesn't shove a bunch of them into his mouth at a time.  He usually eats 1-2 each time, so I think that is less of a choking hazard but still something to watch.

      DS loves dried fruit.  I see it as no more of a choking hazard than fruit snacks.  He eats both well.  A piece or two at a time.

    I choked on absolutely nothing today. I was breathing, it tickled my throat and the next thing I know, I'm trying to Heimlich my lung out of my neck.

    Joseph loves raisins and dried cherries and craisins. He'd kill a man for banana chip. I'm not planning on removing dried fruit from his life any time soon.
