Pizza?

MommyToAshley wrote: I read that some of you give your babies/toddlers pizza. Ashley always begs for pizza when we have it but I usually don't give it to her except for a bit of the crust with some sauce on it. Just wondering, do you just cut it up in pieces? Are you afraid of them getting choked on the cheese?

ediep replied: I have tried to give Jason pizza, but I guess he doesn't like the looks of it because he throws it on the floor with even tasting it!

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I have given Jade pizza and she did all right with it. I just cut it up in very little pieces. She seemed to like it.

Kaitlin'smom replied: Oh my Kaitlin LOVES pizza we share she just bites a pice off and I watch her chew it, she does great with it. I used to pull the cheese back but not she east the whole thing....well just a cheese pizza no other toppings yet. In fact we had one last night! Yummmm

MomToMany replied: Pizza is one of Hannah's favorite foods, actually anything with cheese on it is her favorite . I like making it from scratch, instead of the store-bought kind. I cut it up in very small pieces for her, and she does good with it.

Julie (jem0622) replied: Gabe LOVES pizza. I cut it in very small squares and separate the cheese from the crust so he gets smaller pieces. He does very well with it.

coasterqueen replied: Oh gosh yes! I give Kylie pizza, she loves it!!!!! I just give her small pieces of it and she eats it all up. Of course she has 12 teeth. lol.

She likes the pepperoni more than anything

5littleladies replied: Yep we just cut it up into pieces. I don't really worry about her choking but I'm pretty laid back and very confident in my children's gag reflex. Pizza is one of her absolute favorites!!

3_call_me_mama replied: Cameron's been eating pizza since he was about 9 months old, if you let it cool all the way and cut it up small enough the cheese isn't stringy or a choking hazard, or at least it hasn't been for us. He's always eaten pretty much whatever we ate and at almost 13 months he hasn't choked yet. (knock on wood ) He also has a mouthful of teeth, 4 top adn bottom the upper adn lower eye teeth on the left and upper and lower molars on the right with the left coming in!
I would just watch her carefully and see how she does, you'd be suprised at how amazing they can be when it comes to eating.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Zach had his first tast of pizza when he was about 7 months old... lol He LVOES it.

Now, he eats it no problem.... he's gotten quite good at taking a bigger piece and taking his own bites.

Besides....even if I cut it upinto small pieces, he shoves like 5 or 6 pieces in his mouth.... so it's not like he can't handle a full mouth.

Yep! I do the same thing. Sophia just had some pizza tonight! It's so cute to hear her say "pissa pissa"

MommyToAshley replied: Looks like I have been depriving Ashley of Pizza... I guess we will have to let her have some next time!!!!
