When should I stop cutting my child’s food into tiny pieces?
Little Lunches Expert Answer
Many toddlers can manage slightly larger, soft pieces around 18–24 months as their chewing skills improve. If your child can bite, chew, and move food around their mouth comfortably, you may not need to cut everything into tiny pieces anymore. Try gradually moving to pea- or bean-size pieces, continue cutting choking hazards safely, and focus on chewing skills rather than age. Not sure if they’re ready? Chat for personalized guidance.
