At what age did you let your kids start eating popcorn? I've heard popcorn can be one of those foods that could be a chocking hazard, so I don't usually let my 2-yr dd eat it, but a friend of mine recently mentioned that her 2-yr ds eats popcorn at the movies and he loves it. So I started rethinking that maybe my dd could eat it now ... any thoughts?

We love popcorn in my family so I have a hard time imagining not letting anyone eat it. My minimum requirement is the kid has to have teeth, specifically molars. If they can chew meat / chicken, popcorn is probably okay.

I can't remember when I started letting Bob have popcorn, but Jamie is 18 months now and we just started letting him have it in the last month or so.

This is one of those foods that I waited until my oldest was a little older but the next kids got to eat it earlier. My kids love popcorn, my 2 yr old has no problems!

around 2 i let my kids have popcorn they had their molars and could chew food properly... we like popcorn with a tbsp of plain m&m's in it.

I don't remember exactly. I think around two. But we took the kernels off of each piece of popcorn so it was entirely soft and then made sure if was kinda small. Took a lot of work but he loved it sooo much.

We are big popcorn eaters as well and our kids always seem to sneak a kernel or more by 15-16 months and if they handle it well, we start giving it to them. My youngest is 18 months and has been eating popcorn for several months now.

I myself like to wait until 3 for popcorn and other choking hazzards. I think it is what the "experts" reccomend. But I am sure I gave her a little before then. I just made sure I watched her well while she at it. When we went to the movies, I brought my little one her own snack.
My sil gives her little one that no-kernel fake popcorn stuff. I think it is disgusting, but little ones love it.
