DH accidentally let baby eat some cinnamon bun?

This is 100% a non issue, and something you should be laughing about with your DH. Not hand-wringing on MN.

I stepped it up further on the baby led weaning with DD2 when she had crawled into the kitchen and was joyfully munching on half a bowl of Iams.

yeah definitely not straight nutella even for a baby gangster, you want to cut it with something black market first

Aw OP. You sound like an incredible mum. Fair play to you ❤️

We all beg you to RTFT!!!!!!

what on earth is the problem? It's a cinnamon bun. yum!

Totally agree. Kids are fine with moderation and balance. I do mainly home-cooked food from scratch but once a week or so it’s a quick birdseye nuggets and waffles! We have lots of fresh fruit and veg and healthy snacks but I’m also fine taking my DC to McDonald’s and I was never bothered about the odd fruit shoot when they were little. We have a house full of books and read constantly to them when they were small, we did loads of crafts and had plenty of fresh air/outdoor time. They also watched TV from toddler age and had tablets. They are secondary age now and the few ‘no screen time at all! Only organic food!’ kids have not turned out any better or more amazing.

It is hard sometimes to tell the difference. 😂

Report your post and ask MNHQ if they can lock it or amend your OP to tell people to RTFT

Sorry I don’t agree. We haven’t all been there for things like this and panicked but yea we all worry as parents. I would suggest this post is on the higher end of worrying over nothing than other things.

It’s called humour and she didn’t say that she had an anxiety disorder on her original post. Still a massive overreaction which many many many other people have said.

Mine ate the blueberries he found under the fridge the other day 🤣 oh and my baby girl ate crackers I'd just chucked in the bin when I dared to nip for a wee. Both still alive

Cinnamon buns are lush. Congratulations on raising a child with great taste.

I recall toddler DD1 happily licking the nose/mouth of my cousin's dog. She then went on to become a total Sugar Fiend. But she still went on to play two sports at County Level.

Honestly it really, really doesn't matter what they eat so long as most of their diet is healthy.

Well done, @August24Mama .
I was very worried about DS in other ways as a baby- I didn't want to leave him with anyone- I wanted him within my line of sight at all times. {Probably instinctive} when they are so very young.

Or maybe you haven't read the OP's posts?

@August24Mama Sugar {actual sugar, not sweeteners} is fine.
I was forbidden sugar by adoptive mum, and sugar became a total passion...I became obsessed with sweets and sugary stuff.

If I wanted to make a sugar addicted child, I'd ''ban'' sugar , so it had a special currency to it.

My son was allowed sugar - completely unrestricted, and his teeth and body size {lean} were perfect. {He's an adult now}

He hasn't got a sweet tooth at all, sugar has no ''specialness'' to it.

A cinnamon bun, or quality ice cream is fine.

Toddler DD ate a whole bag of goat food at Odd's Farm. 🐐

It's a gateway bun for a full on Greggs habit. {Other bakeries are available}.

A baby will eat a lot worse than that when they become mobile.

See this is the argument that convinced me to be a bit more relaxed with sugar and sweet treats once mine was over 12 months. I had a good friend with a baby of a similar age, who never allowed her to touch the slightest speck of processed sugar, not allowed the biscuit all the other kids got at playgroup, no chocolate advent calendars at Christmas, no easter eggs, no ice creams at the seaside. I remember when she'd be saying no to birthday cake at parties and offering cherry tomatoes instead and I was feeling smug like 'just you wait till they're older, my kid is going to be so well balanced and yours will be obsessed'.

Except guess what, my kid is fucking obsessed with sugar, would sell her grandmother for a kinder bueno and doesn't seem to have picked up any of this promised balance and moderation she was supposed to be learning. Friend's child will still turn down chocolate/ biscuits, doesn't like them, whilst my child helpfully offers to eat them for her.

I do think that it's a comforting story we tell ourselves and I wish I'd been a bit stricter for a bit longer.

@August24Mama I have definitely been there. I was going to wait till 6 months on the dot, and had a careful plan of which foods I was going to feed and in what order. A week before DD turned 6 months she swiped a piece of thickly-lurpaked toast out of my sister's hand and stuffed it in her mouth. I was honestly horrified, I remember squeaking in dismay at my sister 'it's SALTED butter!!!!!' whilst my sister just laughed. And I do laugh about it now. But it's ok that you really care about how you're weaning and want to get it right. We all have our PFB moments.

I've read all your updates but do please do try not to worry. Cinamon bun at 6 months is fine! I would have probably given baby a little piece on purpose. My DS was on my knee at 4 months and leaned forward and took a huge bite of my scone with cream and jam (accidentally!). He was totally fine.

one day when my first was 8 months and crawling my then husband popped in from work, we were stood in the hallway talking i looked down and the baby was chewing his laces, he worked on aircraft so were covered in oil, hydraulic fluid and aircraft fuel. No side effects, no anxiety, no hospital visit, she lived.
