S/O Cutting Grapes...

What about apples?  Yes, I cut grapes.  And apples scare me even more because they're not as easy to chew. 

Thoughts?

Re: S/O Cutting Grapes...

  • I still cut into pretty small pieces and steam until they're soft. Then again my DS is on the younger side of this board.
    DS (7 years old) from FET in 2010
    DD (5 years old) from IUI in 2012
    TTC 3rd and final!: IUI #1 in progress!

  • If I give LO a slice of raw apple, he'll just gnaw on it and essentially shave off piece. No need to cut any smaller.

  • I would let DD either have a whole apple, since she couldn't bite off big pieces, or I would slice them for her straight up and down and thin like disks.  I still do it, although I let her have apple slices, too- she just eats the inside and leaves the peel alone.

    Oh, come on....please?

    I really am not that paranoid about food.  Apples are the only thing that I really worry about for some odd reason.  And when I gave them to DS today and was cutting them super small (must be the turkey and Jesus in me, Wink it reminded me of all of the ridiculous grape talk.  But a turkey?  And Jesus?  Whatev....

  • If I give them in slices, I core it and slice the apple into 8ths.

    But sometimes we'll just start an apple for them by taking a small bite out and hand it over. 

    Then they battle for it.  It's like American Gladiators with fruit.

    Love it!  HAHA

    I think I'll try the whole apple.  DS likes things that he can bite off of by himself.

  • If they're not crisp, like the crap we have around here lately, I peel them because I know I choke on the limp skins and have far more teeth than her. She prefers to eat them whole, but makes a huge mess with it. If we're outside I'm more likely to give it to her that way, mostly I peel and use the corer/slicer thing.

  • I peel them and usually slice into fairly big slices.  He can eat it with peel and unsliced, but he makes a big mess and takes bites out of the core. ::vom::  I didn't read the great grape debate, but just ftr, I do not cut grapes.

  • Yes, though we haven't done apples very frequently.  She still loves applesauce, so I don't typically buy whole apples.

  • I cut up pretty much everything I feed DS. I'm setting him up for a lifetime of weakness and failure.

    I peel, core then slice them.

  • I have an apple peeler and corer so it makes the apple slices pretty easy to eat. But sometimes DD wants to eat the apple whole so I let her. She gets about 3 bites in and she's over it. She spits the peel out.

  • Yes, I core the apple and then slice the pieces very thin.  DS seems to eat them pretty well that way.
