Please don't give your children raw jelly cubes...choking hazard

[hunkermunker]

See here, poor thing

I was probably a bit harsh, have taken the chastisement Blu. I didn't mean to be judgemental, but clearly I was just thought it was an odd thing to do.

i honestly didn't GET how jelly was sold here, b/c i have never seen it like that. it is not sold in that manner in the US that i have seen.

when they said 'raw jelly', i was confused, b/c i've only seen it as a powder/granules that you add water to and then chill till it's firm.

Im sorry - I appear to have got that totally the wrong way around

you put the baby on their front across your knees and wack their back, and you put the baby on their back and poke with two fingers in their solar plexus area.

Dont know what came over me there.....

we always had raw jelly cubes as a treat, my brother and I. Delicious they are too.

Poor little boy though. It is true what other posters say - anything is potentially a choking hazard - I give my dd2 (14 mths) chunks of cucumber, apple etc.... she could choke on anything, as could adults too.

ps agree with your post Blu - a child dies and the parents immediately get shot to pieces. Maybe if he'd been eating organic lentil bake from Bolivia he'd get more sympathy.

Its really a sad story and i feel sorry for the parents. I remember eating raw jelly when i was younger but i was about 6 or 7 and i used to help my mum make the jelly. It just goes to show a child could choke on anything.
