Fruits

Just wondering how you are serving them now. Are you still cutting and peeling?

Grapes, blueberries, apples, oranges?

I still cut most fruit and peel apples. I do give her bananas in approximate quarters instead of slices, though.

I don't cut most things. She likes to peel her orange pieces apart herself and she won't eat a banana unless she gets to hold the whole thing. Apples I peel and just give her the whole thing and she goes to town.

I do the same. I give melon in strips. From what I've heard grapes should be cut for quite some time yet because they're a choking hazard when they are whole. Blueberries I squish a little.

Grapes, apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries we still cut. Blueberries I don't cut but we always stay with him while he eats. I wish we could get him to eat veggies some way other than a pouch!

Nora would do just fine with more while fruit, but I usually cut them to buy me more time to prepare the rest of her meal or to clean the kitchen.

Grapes, blueberries, grape tomatoes I don't cut, he gets them whole. Apples and oranges I cut into slices, but keep the skin on. He also does fine. Bananas I cut up sometimes (like for a play date just because multiple kids are sharing, or I break the banana in half and he gets 1/2 and his sister gets the other half. Strawberries I still cut up but that's just so he eats slower.

I don't worry about this child choking. He eats everything and anything.

I cut apples into big chunks, unpeeled, that she then bites off bits of. Grapes and cherry tomatoes get cut lengthwise in thirds to avoid choking. Blueberries and most other berries she just eats (sometimes we cut up strawberries if they're really big). Clementines/oranges and bananas get peeled. Peaches and other fruits like that I don't peel but I do cut them off the pit (she swallowed a plum pit once, which is the only reason we don't give them to her whole anymore).

I cut apples into big chunks but don't peel them, she doesn't try to eat the skin. I give oranges and grapefruit in slices however they peel apart. Grapes I halve because I normally buy the huge ones and they're too big for her to chew. A banana I give whole, same with soft fruits but I'll take a bite just to get through the skin initially.

He eats fruits the same way we do. Apples, bananas, peaches, plums, grapes, strawberries, blueberries he gets whole.

Cherries I break in half and pull out the stone.

Oranges he gets peeled or sliced.

Melon and mango he gets sliced or chunked. (although he's boycotting mangoes right now)

Kiwis I peel and halve.

We've never peeled anything that we wouldn't normally peel for ourselves.

He usually always eats an entire apple slice but leaves the peel behind. We still thinly slice bananas, only because he prefers it that way. But I leave them in pretty thick slices.

I cut and peel apples and oranges. Grapes I just cut if they are on the bigger side.

My DD doesn't like Blueberries or strawberries...so can't help you there.

missyishere · February 2013

I attempted to give Nora whole slices of oranges last night, and I thought she did really well. Well, as some of you know from fb, we awoke to a puke covered crib this morning. I cleaned baby while DH took care of the vom (I can't handle that shiz). He told me he found a whole orange slice in the sheet from her upchuck. I will now continue to cut all fruit, because I can't imagine if she had choked on it rather than puking it up.
