Feeding oranges to 18 month old
DD loves them, but wants to hold the entire wedge and doesnt want it if I cut it into little pieces. I cut the rind off and let her hold a slice, but im afraid she will bite off too much and choke...and she does actually eat it...not just suck out the juice...
What does everyone else do?

Re: Feeding oranges to 18 month old
I give ds the clementines- they are small enough that I think its ok if he swallows it whole- plus no seeds is so much easier

Feeding oranges to 18 month old
LOL somewhat related - the other day i gave my DD an unpeeled clementine to play with cause she was pointing to it. i thought she'd think it was a ball. i turned around a minute later and she had ripped it open and was pulling out chunks and eating it. it was funny.
i usually only give her clementine slices cut in half. but shes really good at biting and eating bigger pieces, she actually prefers it, so i dont think i would hesitate to give her the whole slice.

I also give DD (23 months) clementines, but I cut each piece in half. My DD inhales food, so I'm always nervous she's going to choke!

gave oranges at 18m no problems, sometimes I peel it, sometimes I cut into wedges, he handles it just fine.

Feeding oranges to 18 month old
I give clementines always cut in half. My girls inhale their food so I am very paranoid about it. One of my daughters start to choke once with a big bite of food and I will never take that risk again. I watched her struggle to get it down and it's got me paranoid.
