Answer to Question 1

Some foods present a choking risk for infants because their chewing skills are emerging and not well developed. Coarse or inappropriate food textures can obstruct the infant's airway because voluntary coughing and clearing of the throat are skills not yet learned. Foods associated with choking in infants include fruits, vegetables, biscuits, cookies, and crackers.

Answer to Question 2
