  • Feeding babies things they may choke on

    Just a recommendation for anyone like us who has a baby and wants to feed them things, but without the risk of choking.

    This thing is fantastic:

    Bean has all sorts in his, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, apple and his current favourite - orange segments. You should hear him sucking on it like a loon, he loves it.

    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.


    What would Vedder do?

      That's a neat idea, but it is also a good idea to give them some lumps and bigger pieces of food (supervised of course) so they get used to handling (or should that be mouthing / or chewing lol) larger bits of stuff and therefore they aren't such a shock to them and therefore they are less likely to choke on them.. make sense?

        Avoid Celery sticks until the babies can chew. My baby cousin choked on all the stringy bits which balled in the back of his throat.

          Brilliant that he's growing up to love fresh fruit, but I'm worried he'll also acquire a fetish for sucking on mesh bags

            Found it on the site eventually - but it's out of stock!
            I've bookmarked the link now and will definitely try to get hold of one for our 6th grandchild - due in a few weeks.

            Many thanks for the recommendation - sounds brilliant.

              Brilliant news grannymem, do you know what your having (well not you exactly) ?

              Are they easy to clean Wayne? I might buy some for a friend of mines baby, she's into all her mum's fruit and veg, she Love's gumming carrots to death.

                Another little boy, Ginger Ninger! They'll have 3 of them under 4 so I think a bit of 'grannying' help may be called for next month - sadly they live about 6 hours' drive from here (not so sad says son-in-law!) so I have to make the most of any visits (and the webcam...)

                By the way, youngest granddaughter of the family at the moment (the extremely lovely 1 year old Dulcie) has very bright red hair - another GN?

                PS Do I sound like an over-doting granny?!

                  We don't use it exclusively - we also give him sticks of celery, cucumber, peppers, bread (crusts from home made bread before anyone quotes how much sugar/salt/chromium/plutonium etc is in shop bought) and carrots to chew on.

                  We just use it for the smaller items, like grapes, orange segments, raspberries, strawberries etc.

                  The boy loves to eat.

                    There's no such thing, it's impossible to become over doting! Our number 4 grandchild (a boy) is due in 5 weeks and I can't wait! It's the 'awkward' daughter who's expecting this time though, so I bet she keeps us hanging around. Number 5 is due in April.
                    I suppose it's possible that someone will buy one of these net things for them, but it won't be me, I'm far too 'traditional' when it comes to babies. My first words when told I was to become a Gran for the first time were; 'How lovely!!! Pleeeease don't name it something stupid.'
                    Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

                      Right you were, too!
                      Your grandkids will thank you one day. Well, maybe not, but they should!
