Just read a article about cutting grapes in half before giving them to your child in case they choke rtf
Apparently it’s more common than you think. Scared me so I instantly ran over to my child’s lunch box and cut up the grapes.
Anylnw else do this?.do it now.
Re: Grapes
yup ... but its not just grapes, all food needs to be cut up small enough to pass through a 4mm diameter (thats approx the size/diameter of a toddler trachea). by comparison, adult trachea (windpipe) is 8mm.
we lost a toddler last year in our ER ... choked on a piece of strawberry.
Re: Grapes

Food must be cut up. Will remember.
Re: Grapes
