Do you have a child under 4 in your life? Did you know that if they can choke on food bigger than a half an inch. Do you know exactly how big that is? I thought I did, but I guess I didn't exactly.

firm foods should be cut into bite size pieces, no larger then 1/2 inch ( i did know this..lol) !
I learned that The 1/2"is based on the recommended
size limit for firm foods from the American Academy of Pediatrics
I didnt know that this size of food was recommended up to 4 years of age-I would have thought it was till 2 or 3

I learned that there are currently three retail stores that carry it. The stores are located in Idaho, Florida, and Hawaii.

I have learned that the AAP's recommendation is that, to reduce the risk of choking, firm foods should be cut into bite sizes no larger than 1/2 inch in any direction for children under the age of 4, because they lack a full set of teeth!

Firm foods should be cut in small pieces no bigger than 1/2" all around. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

I learned the plate is a permanent reminder and food test gauge for parents, grandparents,babysitters,
daycare providers, or any caregiver, to cut up firm foods within the 1/2 inch bite size.
I didn't realize that their food should be cut to 1/2 inch till they are 4. Good tip!

I learned that they did some research and found recommendations from the leading pediatrician
organization in North America, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Among them is the recommendation that, to reduce the risk of choking, firm foods should be cut into bite sizes no larger than 1/2 inch in any direction for children under the age of
4, because they lack a full set of teeth. This recommendation is recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
I wonder how many people were not aware of this. I for one knew this but am glad its made aware to the public.
Please enter me. Would love to win these plates. Thanks
