My own opinion is I just don't see how it's safe when he has 2 upper and 2 lower front teeth that he can easily bite a piece off and choke. There are many other ways to satisfy a teething baby. Maybe I'm totally wrong. But, like you BC, not on my watch.
I’m with you—I wouldn’t give a baby a carrot. I’m very cautious about babies & toddlers with food. I use my kitchen shears to chop their food into very small pieces. Even my preschoolers get matchstick carrots.
