In reply to Leslie. Generally speaking, if the pieces are very small and very soft, they are not considered to be a choking hazard. With shredded meat, it should also be very soft and shredded finely so it shouldn't required much chewing at all. I would wait to do shredded fresh carrots until after a year, but you can soften them in very hot water for a few minutes, then drain and serve.

I just really need to ask as I am new to feeding baby. Chopped pieces.. are they possible choking hazards in too little pieces?? I really need someone to ease my mind of what is safe for 9 to 11 month olds. Ground meat, chicken shredded/chopped and shredded carrots (slightly softened) make me nervous I think because it takes more chewing to break down... I just need some reassurance Thank you

In reply to Joanna. If they have good head control, you can help them sit supported—but you want to make sure they are sitting very upright and not slouched back in a chair. Some people use a bumbo chair, or you can use towels or a small pillow to help them sit upright in their highchair.

In reply to Taiylor Springfield.

It’s an approach to feeding babies called baby led weaning where you offer soft finger-size pieces of food to let baby feed themselves. More is here: https://www.yummytoddlerfood.com/first-foods-for-baby/
