BLW toast choking hazard

Toast is fine. However the crust is supposed to be cut as that’s a choking hazard , the toast itself get mushy and small with spit and it’s soft so fine to swallow but the crusts are different xx
Toast is absolutely fine ☺️ they are pretty clever with the reflexes, if they have a bit that’s to big they generally gag it back up x
They can eat and as it gets mushed they can swallow it We all had Pizza Hut on Friday as a family i felt so bad baby was left out, so we tried him on the crust and he went nuts for it and didn’t choke once Hes 9 months next week
Can we give any bread? What about the salt content?
@Seema We just give normal wholemeal, and he only has half a slice a day so I don't think the salt will be harmful. I wouldn't give artisanal bread with olives etc.
The bread becoming soggy is the only way my LO can swallow it, so personally I just would have let him keep going at it. I’ve never cut the crusts off either - didn’t realise that was supposedly a choking hazard! But don’t think I’ll get away with cutting them off now as that’s her favourite bit 😅
I would have just left them to eat it as you don’t know till you try! I have always let my boy eat toast and never actually needed to intervene, I also have been doing him sandwiches for lunch every so often since he was 7 months and he eats it so well. I just find that I won’t know how he is going to do with a food until o try him with it. Bit like grapes 😂 I was so paranoid of giving them to him but done it at 7 and a half months and it’s one of his fave fruits!
I believe toast is fine as it doesn't swell in the way that bread does. My son also loves toast and will eventually swallow what he has chewed to a mush.
