Raisins?

deedee1017 · January 2015

Do you give your LO raisins? I haven't because I'm afraid they are a choking hazard since they're kind of rubbery.

MammaWolf7 · January 2015

Same here. I almost freaked out on my MIL when she asked if she could give him some.

Amjoy25 · January 2015

Yes! She loves them! They are super small, so not a choking hazard. She's been eating them since she was 9 months old. Try them!

Hmm, I didn't think about that. LO started eating raisins a few weeks ago. I give her a couple at a time and she hasn't had any issues.

I juSt started giving Georgia raisins last week and she loves them! She's never choked once. They are too small, I think.

Yup, actually lots of dried fruits. He loves dried blueberrys

I have been wondering this. My mom got us some because I love them but I have been wondering if they were too small or too rubbery to give Ethan. I really like he would like them though. I may try it this week.

I have but pay very close attention. He has eaten them in breads and done well.

Abby looooooooooves raisins. No choking at all even when she shoves 15 in her mouth at once.

BMnatz11 · January 2015

She loves them and has never once choked. I can't remember when we started giving them to her, but it was quite a while ago.

Yes, they are Nicholas' favorite snack!!! We've been giving them to him for a while, but I don't remember exactly when we started. No choking issues that we've encountered with them so far!

deedee1017 · January 2015

wooohoo! Sounds like O is going to have something new to try. Thanks ladies!

Now, blueberries. Are you all still cutting them?

PixiesDust · January 2015

I haven't but mostly because I've never had them on hand. Considering the size of pieces of food i've see in her diaper or (unfortunately) during a recent stomach bug, I'm confident she could manage to swallow them whole and be just fine.

cassey910 · January 2015

Haven't tried raisins yet but I'm going to now.

Fruitcove7 · January 2015

Yes, we give raisins and we don't cut blueberries in half anymore. DS LOVES both!

megs1409 · January 2015

I'm neurotic, so yes, I've still been cutting blueberries, but I probably don't need to anymore.

Yes, raisins are yummy (to DD - I think they are nasty). Also, prunes but I cut those up because they are big. Just be aware with any dried fruit that too much can cause constipation because they suck up the stomach juices and re-hydrate themselves on their way through the system! Gross but true!

Good to know!

Yup, DD was constipated so I gave her prunes and it made things worse! Prune juice or baby food pureed prunes are good to go though. Those raisins will become grapes again

I never cut blueberries for him.

adcc43 · January 2015

Yes I give my son raisins all the time. He loves them and has yet to have an issue with them.

Jalee85 · January 2015

She eats raisin cinnamon toast for breakfast everyday. She likes to pic the raisins out and eat them 1st!

Lee81 · January 2015

I never would have thought to give her raisins but I found out last week that my mom has been giving them to her and she loves them.

I think I might stop cutting the blueberries. Thanks for bringing that up @deedee1017‌. I've still been doing it, but it's a pain in the ass.

every time I say I'm done cutting them, I get paranoid and cut them anyway.

Jalee85 · January 2015

Considering D had a severe choking episode today. Luckily she ended up gagging and it came back out. I think I might cut everything forever! I was just about to pull her out and do the heimlich when she gagged and it came out!!!
