That is not the situation though. I am not refusing regular foods at all. She doesn't have him on regular foods now except cheerios. She is not "feeding" the carrot to him, but letting him chew on it for teething. Totally different than refusing foods.
I've looked at the top 10 choking risks for children and every single one has raw vegetables on it.
