DH accidentally let baby eat some cinnamon bun?

Friends abroad have fly screens on their doors. Their 2nd child used to lick it up and down. Same child lapped up water from a manky, brown pot hole in the street like a dog.
She is 15 now and fine.

Omg, babies on cinnabuns!

She'll be crawling to the store tomorrow stealing all their doughnuts and other stuffs.

She will be fine.

It’s likely your PPA muddying things. This is a very disproportionate thing to worry about. Very. Your kid is going to eat a whole lot worse as time goes on.

God There was me slightly worried when my crawling baby chewed a dead fly (I assume he thought it was a raisin). Thank god it wasn’t a CINNAMON BUN!

Encouraging a baby to enjoy the social side of eating is the best way to wean them. I'm not saying give them sugary treats all the time, but that they shouldn't be eating substantially different foods to you - eating, - and enjoying - should be a family affair.

I used to hate it when the GP used to say to me “is this your first child”.
my first child thought raisins were sweets until she was about 3.
Second child was allowed to eat what we ate. Both eat healthy diets and have good teeth now they are adults.
it doesn’t matter, don’t get upset.

It's the only sensible course of action here.

Mumsnet is rife with spiteful comments. It is very normal to be anxious and worry about things when it's your first baby especially. Particularly, when you're trying to follow NHS advice on everything too.

In all seriousness OP I know weaning seems like the absolute be all and end all now, you’re probably seeing all these Facebook groups where people post their babies meals for the day and it’s all organic berries with few hand harvested oats and a sprinkle of chia seeds, or those mad ones where people start a whole instagram account and post what their kids are eating, and it’s all Waitrose fruit, sourdough and homemade yoghurts - just fyi they’re almost NEVER real! But it’s not real life, and your baby won’t come to any harm eating a totally normal foodstuff like a cinnamon bun. Forget these 50 veggies before 1 lists , my friend nearly drove herself mad trying to find Okra so her 11 month old could have it and she could tick it off the list, realistically is not trying okra before 1 going to affect anyone’s life chances, no. Life is about balance and as your child grows and starts going to school, birthday parties, other kids houses for tea etc, and then even scarier has their own bank card and goes to the shop every day after school, you just want to teach them foods not scary or forbidden, and to cultivate a love of good food. Chances are your baby will have a fussy phase too, one of mine only ate weetabix for like 16 days once. My youngest is 2 and eats loads of veggies raw like a champ but won’t for example touch hummus even though she used to wolf it down. And would prefer ice cream for every meal, but wouldn’t we all 🤪 anyway just to summarise don’t let things like this , and the weaning industry, live rent free in your head, enjoy your baby and enjoy sharing food and mealtimes

Just wait til you have DC2 😂

Dc 1 liked licking the tarmac when he was 2. He said it was rough!!
Dc 2 ate his own poop when he was 14 months and had a poonami one nap time
Dc 3 was found chewing on a stick he dragged over from the edge of his playmat in the garden one afternoon when he could only bum shuffle a bit
Dc 4 …could have eaten many things but I was so busy by then that she just joined in with the mayhem!

the good news is that I think the exposure to all the random stuff built up their immune systems and made them willing to be more adventurous eaters as they have got older

There are some needlessly spiteful posts here. The OP has accepted she was being unreasonable with grace and humour. ‘Sides, you’re allowed to be a bit neurotic with your PFB.

If it helps OP I have such a battle getting my daughter to eat fruit and veg that when she ate some carrot today I text my MIL in delight! 😂

DS was not keen on solid food for a long time so I remember being quite surprised when 11 month DD toddled over to his 3rd birthday cake and started shovelling it in!

Be grateful your baby is willing to try foods. The guidance used to be that you should let babies try anything and everything food wise as it builds a varied taste profile. If they only eat veggies and fruit then may not like other stuff like cereals and breads.

Yes it's sugary.. but a little bit of what you like is good for you. It's more important to teach a child about healthy eating habits than it is to cut out perceived "bad foods". (Obvs in an age appropriate way).

We used to go by "have 1 bad thing a day, keep the rest healthy". Worked till the kids were about 8...now I have one who eats a balanced diet and one who we constantly fight to encourage better food choices.

In a few years time you'll think back on "the cinnamon bun incident" and chuckle at yourself. Probably when you find your child fridge raising for the tenth time that day!

Op chill. You're having a pfb moment. Just wait until DC2 comes along and it's wotsits at 10mths - given by DC1 who wanted to be kind and share 😊

I also want cinnamon bun, good taste.

I think it may have been a Freudian slip OP.

Massively over reacting. It’s cinnamon not cyanide

Mine is 7 months and caught him eating one of his sister's school shoes the other day. Your baby will be fine.

Sorry OP, but the thought of your baby grabbing a cinnamon bun and joyfully getting their first tiny taste of something lovely makes me smile. I'm glad you can lighten up and hope you can see this as funny and cute. Because it is.

Glad you’re able to see the funny side now, op!

My son once eat a half eaten sausage he found in a soft play ball pit once 🤢

They have hands like steel traps once they're clutching something as well. It was in her mouth before I could do a thing about it 😂

My eldest put a snail in her mouth when she was about 8 months (I fished it out).

DH had my 6mo... So its your baby and not DH's???

Does PPA mean post partum anxiety? Please speak to your GP or midwife about your anxieties OP and seek out further mental health support. Kindly, whatever help you are getting, is not enough.
