Some Foods Aren't Safe for Toddlers

Little mouths and throats aren't suited for big chunks of food, which could pose a choking hazard. The American Academy of Pediatrics says parents should avoid giving their toddler:

1. Whole hot dogs (should be sliced). 2. Jelly beans and other hard candies, as well as nuts, seeds and popcorn. 3. Thick chunks of peanut butter. 4. Raw crunchy vegetables, such as green beans, carrots or celery. 5. Whole cherry tomatoes or grapes (they should be quartered). 6. Big chunks of meat, fruit, raw veggies or potatoes.
