Hot dogs?

Question

Can my 1 year old (who isn't walking yet) eat a whole, raw hot dog? Or would that be considered a choking hazard? I come home from grocery shopping (my mom was watching my baby) and I see my daughter eating a WHOLE cold hot dog, just crawling around and eating it. My mom wasn't even worried/watching. She says that it's fine, but it seems unsafe to me and I am very angry.

Answer

That is absolutely a choking hazard. I would not let my mother watch my child after that until she is educated on how to feed a child safely.

Answer

One of the major choking hazard foods at that age. And raw? Since your baby obviously didn’t choke, thankfully, I would be more concerned about he crap she ate. Also biggest concern is the lack of concern your mother has for your child while in her care. Might want to rethink that.

Answer

Technically they’re precooked, it’s the same as bologna so it’s not raw. I would definitely be concerned that it wasn’t cut up into quarters and she was crawling around eating it though

Technically they aren’t “raw” but they should be definitely cut up. Hot dogs are a top choke hazard.

Answer

The hotdog should have been cooked and cut up. It’s nasty to eat a cold raw hotdog.

Answer

Sheesh. My lo loves her hot dogs but i have always cut them into bite size pieces and she remained in a seated position until finished. Never have i ever just gave her a whole freakin hot dog and said here ya go....crawl play jump. My lo has choked before on mashed pot. So my ultimate fear is her choking or falling down stairs. Anxiety overload when we go to family's homes with stairs....im def a helicopter mom when it comes to that stuff. U r mama and u need to let gma know that it may have been ok when her kids were growing up but it has been proven babies do choke on hotdogs. Boundaires. Show her what u would do and say that it eases ur fear of baby choking if it were smaller bites and baby was sitting in high chair the whole time until finished.
