Hahahah, I often wonder the same thing. I was giving DD baby mum mums at around 6 months and my girlfriend asked me what it was. I showed her and said I got it at Woolworths and it was all natural blah blah and she asked if she could give her DD one. I passed it over to her and she honestly threw it back at me in horror exclaiming "It says for 12 months and over - she'll CHOKE!" Honestly, it hadn't even crossed my mind previously. We are doing BLS so I just pretty much ignore any of the warnings for choking - nuts, honey etc fair enough but the rest I just use my own decision making skills.
