Younger toddlers need softer food
At one and two, food should mash or squish easily. Hard raw vegetables, nuts, and whole grapes are a choking worry.
The app holds the age
The app tells you how to serve a food for the age you saved. If chewing worries you, talk to your child’s doctor.
This page will not list the cuts. Softer than you think is the direction for the younger ages.
What stays off the young plate
Whole grapes, nuts, popcorn, and hard raw carrot are the shapes to rethink. Sit with them for every meal.
A soft soup, a mash, or a very soft vegetable beside a familiar food is the comfortable dinner.
Age is not a test
A child who is two does not have to eat like a picture of a two-year-old. Follow the chewing you actually see.
If they often choke, cough, or spit hard pieces, stop those textures and talk to your child’s doctor.

“We’ll keep this soft.”
