Dr. Tanya Altmann, who wrote the book
Baby & Toddler Basics, agreed that hot dogs long and round shapes become such choking hazards for toddlers who usually bite a thick quarter of the food.
Preventing a Choking Hazard
Ideally, hot dogs should be given to children above four years old as they become more aware of what they eat and handle chewing food better before swallowing. However, if parents still prefer to feed their toddlers with hot dogs, they should consider mashing it up, mincing, or slicing the long rounded food into small and bite-sized pieces.
The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommended cutting cylindrical-shaped food at least 1/2 inch or smaller for toddlers. It must be sliced lengthwise first and then cut up into smaller pieces. Some experts also recommend removing the skin because it s tough to chew.
