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. The AAP Policy Statement on choking in children recommends that young children be supervised when eating, and that they not be laid down with food or a bottle in their mouths. Foods associated with choking in infants include fruits, vegetables, biscuits, cookies, and crackers.
