On a board on another parenting forum, where all our children are around the same age, someone has asked whether we will be giving our babies a "taste" of chocolate over Easter.
I am certainly not but another poster has said that those who don't are "Scrooges" and that a little bit of chocolate does no harm. In fact it seems quite a few posters will be giving their kids a bit of Easter egg and I'm in the minority.
AIBU by NOT giving my six month old son even a bit of chocolate? I don't want him having any added sugar for the next few months whilst he's in the early stages of weaning and for this reason have avoided giving baby jars/pouches and have made homemade purees. I hadn't thought about when to allow chocolate and other junk food but I suppose the first time I would is on his first birthday when he can have a bit of his cake if he likes. I'm certainly not going to deprive him of treats as he gets older as I don't want them to be "forbidden" and want him to have a healthy relationship with food but I just hadn't intended to give him food with added sugar and other crap until he's old enough to ask for it.
AIBU or indeed a "Scrooge"?
