Choking hazards are the same for all kids, regardless of whether you’re doing puree feeding or baby-led weaning!
Research has shown that when parents are properly educated on how to safely serve finger foods to their babies, there is no increased risk of choking compared to traditional puree feeding (1). Knowing how to set up the feeding environment and how to properly prepare foods are key to lowering your baby's risk of choking.
We've got a new blog post outlining the nitty-gritty details of what constitutes a choking hazard, the different kinds of choking hazards, and how to modify them for safe consumption!
