Thank you!!!!!!!! I thought it was just me!!!

I have always started serving whole grapes at 3 just like in our centers but they make me nervous and after this thread I for one am going back to cutting them. I NEVER serve hot dogs, they are just chemical crap anyway plus I know of a doctor that watched his 4 year old choke to death on a hotdog & could not save him.

Sure - you can choke on anthing but WHY do people feel the need to prove a point by not cutting certain foods??? There is a list of dangerous foods for a reason - these foods are the size & shape to lodge easily in a child's windpipe & be extremely difficult to remove via heimlich etc.
