We know choking is a common concern when introducing finger foods, and your baby's safety is our top priority. Our Biteables are specially crafted with your peace of mind and your baby's development in mind. Below are a few tips:
Biteables are cut to the perfect size and cooked to be soft, making them safe for your baby’s developmental stage. As a general rule, if you can mash it between your thumb and forefinger, your baby can do the same with their gums, even without teeth!
Always supervise your baby when they’re eating, even if they’re pros at feeding themselves. Keeping a close eye on them at all times is essential. Encourage your baby to chew their food by demonstrating chewing motions and giving them time to work on each bite before offering another.
Avoid foods that are small, hard, sticky, or round, as these can pose a choking risk. Examples include popcorn, nuts, grapes, or soft bread that can gum together.
Knowing what to do in case of choking is crucial. Consider taking a course in infant and child CPR or choking rescue to be prepared to act quickly if needed. Being prepared can help reduce anxiety.
Remember, every baby is unique, and it’s important to monitor your child’s development and adjust your feeding approach as necessary. If you're unsure or anxious, work closely with your pediatrician to create the right plan for your baby’s needs. You’ve got this, and we’re here to support you on your baby’s feeding journey.
