In this episode, I chat about choking hazards - this is a hugely terrifying topic for many parents, and I really want you to feel confident that you’re offering food in a safe way for your babies and toddlers! One of the most common questions I get about choking hazards is when certain foods are considered safe....when are the suggested modifications no longer necessary?
Today, I dive into this for you, and explain everything from what the current recommendations are, and how foods made the top choking hazards list, to when I recommend reducing modifications, why you should, and how to actually do this in a safe way. I even provide you with numerous examples of a step-by-step process for how to do this, using specific choking hazards.

And don’t forget to leave me a rating and review on Apple Podcasts - I read every single one and they truly mean so much to me (and I even use them for future episode topics so leave me what you’d like to hear about too!).
