Grapes. Cut them in half?

[Albrecht]

Is that right - can't remember where I read how to serve them properly.

Yes, cut them in half along their length. I've heard of too many little children choking on grapes.

oh dear im so paranoid about choking that i cut one grape up into 8 pieces for my 13m old,4 pieces for my 4 year old and in half for my 9 yr old, iam probably being far too over protective but choking is a terrible fear for me

I was thinking of doing into 4 but ds is only 6 months and 1 week so probably wouldn't be able to pick that up.

Sausages also have to have the skin taken off, to begin with. (obviously I will be making mine from scratch - including slaughtering the pig myself as this is my pfb...)

My daughter is 2 and I still cut her grapes up

my mum is a nursery nurse and the first aid course she went on (or Health & safety) said to cut in half (length) until 5yrs old

my DD is 3 and i still cut hers

I cut grapes into fours for dd

I have never cut up grapes right from when my 3 first had them (6-7 months when they had the dexterity to pick them up). They have never choked on a grape yet a toddler (about 2 y/o) in a baby group I went to helped himself to a grape off the stalk (like mine were) and choked on it. I had to whip him on to my lap and slap his back, then fish out the grape (he'd swallowed it without chewing it) - his mum was in the loo at the time so not negligent. He'd never had an uncut grape so didn't know to crush it with his teeth before swallowing.

I didn't realise you were supposed to cut grapes until they were 5! I'm in trouble my eldest isn't even 5 yet....

I always cut grapes, I still cut them for my 3 and a half year old!
