Parents spot major problem with mum’s ‘lazy’ dinner for her six-year-old child: ‘Please cut them up’

A group of Australian parents have criticized a mother’s ‘lazy’ dinner for her son after noticing a key mistake on his plate.

The woman, who specifically shared her dish on a Facebook group for “lazy diners,” was shocked when she faced backlash for not cutting the plate’s grapes in half.

‘So lazy. Mini microwave corn dogs, leftover mac and cheese, Greek yogurt with whip and sprinkles, grapes, oranges. Stay lazy mamas,’ she captioned the photo.

Comments that reminded him of ‘dangerous’ fruit were intended as jokes in their delivery.

‘I promise I’m not trying to be mean in any way, but cut your children’s grapes… My daughter’s best friend lost her five year old brother to choking on a grape. I wish my granddaughter ate fruit,’ said one woman.

I even choked as an adult once. It’s so easy to do,” said another.

The mother replied: ‘Thank you for the reminder. I usually do it. It’s only been a day. My youngest is six, they still love divided plates.’

Previously, an Australian paramedic revealed the most dangerous foods for babies and young children, and how to reduce the risk of choking by modifying them.

The paramedic and executive director of the parent organization. Tiny hearts educationNikki Jurcutz explained that round foods like grapes are the most dangerous, as they are the exact size of a child’s esophagus and can completely block the airway.

The Victoria-based first aid educator explained that the risk can be mitigated by modifying its shape, for example by cutting into quarters or crushing grapes.

Paramedic and executive director of the parent organization Tiny Hearts Education, Nikki Jurcutz, issued a warning against small, rounded foods that she says are high-risk choking foods for children. The paramedic recommends modifying foods such as grapes or blueberries by cutting them into quarters or crushing them.

Nikki went up a video demonstrating how small, rounded foods are similar in shape and size to a child’s esophagus.

‘Not all food is created equal. Some foods pose a higher choking hazard than others. Round foods are a high-risk choking food and that is why,” he captioned the informative video of him.

The paramedic said that round foods can fit snugly into a child’s esophagus and completely block the airway.

The solution is to modify the shape of the food, and it can be modified by quartering or crushing.

“Prevention is key,” Nikki said, explaining that even if the modified fruit gets stuck in a child’s airway, there is still room for oxygen to reach the lungs.

“If your little one chokes and has a completely blocked airway, choking first aid should be performed immediately.”
