9-12 month food cutting question

[carolinagirl831]

Forgive me if this is stupid, but I am one of those crazies that cuts up everything in teeny tiny pieces
If you give your child Black beans, you do cut them or do they eat them whole?
how about blueberries?

[satsuma]

Black beans were given whole, large blueberries were either cut or lightly crushed so they weren't as slippery in the mouth.

I would just squish them both a bit, black beans with a fork, and blueberries with my fingers.

Depending on the food. Veggies, usually big pieces. Meat, small pieces because she tends to stuff her mouth with meat and then can't handle it.
Beans and blueberries? I'd probably crush it a tad.

[dbsk8dance]

Whole black beans, blueberries in half.

Started with squishing the beans but then stopped. Blueberries get cut in half.
