Do you give whole blueberries?

LollyBug18 · June 2012

It seems like peas are small enough and grapes are too big but blueberries are right in the middle. Do you give them to LO whole or cut up in halves or more?

I cut them in quarters. I think she can definitely handle more because she picks them up by the handful, but I'm still kind of paranoid.

I usually cut them in half. If they are super soft and on the small side, I give them to her whole. I'm a pretty big wuss when it comes to her portion size, too.

We still cut them in half....she has a tendency to stuff a hand full in her mouth of whatever she's eating. Cutting in half keeps me sane.

Depends how big they are. If they're small I just give them to him whole. If they're huge, I'll cut them in half first.

I give them to him whole and have never had a problem with it.

Whole. But she also eat whole blackberries and those are ginormous. I was cutting them in half, but then she would cram 5 halves in her mouth at a time. When they are whole, she does one at a time for some reason.

Half.

Same here.

I cut them in half and Z does great with that.

I always give them whole. I used to squish them first but haven't fire a long time. They are her favorite food!

Looks like I'm in the minority here but I either half or quarter them. Round things just scare me!

I cut them in half because I'm sill paranoid about choking and she likes to shove several in her mouth at a time.

I cut them in half but I might try giving him some of the smaller whole ones to try. DS can crush ice with his front teeth so I'm sure he can mush a whole blueberry enough to not choke on it. I'm just worried about him inhaling it, but he's never done that with anything before. So I dunno, as you can see in still conflicted lol.

We cut them in half still, but I tend to be extra paranoid about choking.

Me too!

We give them whole. He will cram more in his mouth if they are smaller pieces

We still cut them in half. The one time I gave her whole ones, they came out still whole .

We give them to her whole. She is still toothless, but she has no problem mashing them down.

I actually quarter them if their big or halve them if they're small, but it's probably more out of habit than necessity. She shoves so many in her dang mouth though, it does make me feel better for some reason. She handles food really well but I get paranoid that she'll inhale a whole one.
