Proper bite size foods are so important for child safety. Choking is a common cause of child suffocation.
Use scissors to cut foods to the appropriate size for infants and toddlers.
I keep a pair in the kitchen just for cutting food.
Cutting and chopping takes time and is tedious at times. This is a timesaver, not to mention safer to use (avoids knife slips and cuts).
Bonus: scissors are dishwasher safe!
Use this awesome tool to cut:
Noodles
Grapes
Broccoli
Banana
Strawberries
Citrus
Hot dog/sausage
Meat/chicken/pork
The list is endless but these are a good start!
