My 11 month old DD ate unpeeled fruit without a problem (stuff like apricots, nectarines, tomatoes, etc.) until a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I keep finding pieces of peel in her mouth after meals. I suspect that it's because she's finally starting chewing her food rather than just swallowing pieces whole!
I wasn't too worried about it, but both DM and MIL seem to be freaked out by the fact that I'm not peeling fruits, so it made me wonder!
Anyway, what do people do about this? Is it a choking risk? Do you peel? If so, what fruits? Or just check their mouth after every meal?
