Toddler ate leaves off strawberry

[Leannejo22]

Hi This might sound really silly but I was preparing some fruit for my toddler and dropped strawberries on the floor as I went to pick them up my 21 month old put the strawberry in his mouth with the leaves on I was abit worried maybe I sound stupid I know there’s toddlers who ate worser

They won't do him any harm, don't worry!

Absolutely fine

Thank you for your replies I was more scared about the leaves getting trapped in his air ways but his fine

My father in law eats the strawberries like this he seems ok 👍

It's just part of the strawberry why would it cause any harm?

The strawberry it's self is more of a choke hazard than the leaves

Strawberry leaves are not harmful and were used in folk medicine for years.
I found this woman on YouTube who uses them:

My dog eats the top of the strawberries with leaves on. He sits and waits for them.

If that’s the worst thing your kid eats you’re winning.

This! My child when about 15 months ate bird shit that was on the grass 🤮 I had to call the gp for that one.......

Same! She loves strawberry tops!

My kids eat them probably 50% of the time. It’s fine. Also not for toddlers but our local pub takes all the cut off tops and puts them in vodka to make homemade strawberry liquor- it’s delicious!

thank you for sharing that’s quite interesting
