DH accidentally let baby eat some cinnamon bun?

Hahahaha.

When it's your second child they'll be eating crisps they found on the floor at Costa and you'll be like, "Oh well, it'll be good for his/her immune system I guess!"

Lol apparently I ate a worm as a baby

I'm sorry that it gave you such a worry. Hope you're feeling better now and also that the baby enjoyed their first lick of bun. It's a marathon not a sprint, so try to pace the worrying. You've got many years to go.

Hi OP - I don’t know if you’re still reading the thread - I have only read all of your posts!

Trust me when I say that most of us have been there with our PFBs! You’re not alone! But then we nearly all cave in to pizza and chicken nuggets at some point! You will be fine and your baby will be fine and fair play for taking the responses on the chin.

It is never too early to start if you want to bring up a previous eater!

Bless you op. Firstborn by any chance? I was extremely anxious when dd was born and I know exactly where you are.

I won't tell you to relax, or that it's just an overreaction as you've posted that yourself.

But I will tell you to be kind to yourself and know that you are doing fine.

One of mine ate a ladybird and a handful of sand. The other ate leaves and soil just because. Both still alive! Try not to worry yourself so much ❤️

To be fair, we started weaning one of my children at the 4 month mark not so long ago when we found her basically lunging face-first at available food with a manic look in her eye 😂. She was always an incredibly hungry baby for milk before that anyway, so it was all in-keeping. When we gave her her first solids at 4 months she lunged for the spoon repeatedly and giggled like a loon so I'm pretty happy with our decision for that one!

I completely understand your feelings, OP.
Looking back I had what could be termed PPA too though, perhaps controversially, I think those feelings are within the range of normal especially for a first time mum. As long as it's not actually ruling your life you don't need to be medicalised for it and are entitled to be a bit primal and irrational after creating brand new life!

HOWEVER this is totally, absolutely, 100% fine and it sounds like you've managed to reframe it as a lovely, cheeky incident courtesy of your curious, joyful baby - which is what it is!

Good luck. If I'm anything to go by you'll have several more mad, worried moments before your child is older and need to be gently talked down and reassured by people not in the thick of high-alert, protective hormones 😁!

Can people please read all the op’s posts?!

She accepted very early on that she was being unreasonable and has since been able to have a laugh at herself.

Op baby be ok and you've a story now to share ...every single parent has a similar story, babies will grab and eat strange things in 1 second!

Get a grip. Also what are you going to do if your baby is fussy? That will throw out all your ideologies of what you expect her to eat for the next few years.

In two months baby will be crawling and eating dirt.
It's last minute to lower your standards.

My first thought. Troll post?

Dd2 was so hungry she grabbed a fish finger off her sisters plate and chugged it down in one. No gentle introduction via coaxing with baby porridge for her !

One of mine used to lick the floor and constantly grabbed anything I was eating. Think of it as tastes. They need to taste a wide range.

Did you write cinnamon instead of cocaine? Otherwise I’m missing the problem

Maybe read all the OP’s posts?

It’s a shame that so many are incapable of doing that before letting lose their pearls of wisdom. The thread will carry on for pages while people post nasty remarks when the OP has been great about it.

This is a non event chill!

My daughter ate a dishwasher tablet when she was one 🤯 she threw up and then ate cheese pasta after. She's four now. I hope that makes you less worried.

@August24Mama, hope you’re OK. Some posters have very poor understanding about, and empathy, for PPA. They perhaps forget how anxious they might have been with their first child.

Ignore them. Their problem.

To add to the food-grabbing anecdotes. I don’t eat meat and nor do my kids. When my DS2 was about 8 months, he was sitting on his dad’s lap in a restaurant and grabbed a whole chunk of venison out of a very rich stew and shoved it in his mouth before any of us could stop him 😂

He’s a young man now and still loves food. Quite an accomplished cook.

It’s best to let them try what they want within reason. The only thing you have to be mindful of is choking hazards. If you only let them have what you feed to them, it can make them uptight and unadventurous with food. As with all things with kids, they’ll copy you. “Do as I say and not as I do” rarely works. So make sure you eat plenty of fruit and veg and so will they. You’re right to try to keep them away from processed sugar as much as poss. Mine rarely had sweets as toddlers. I gave them chopped up fresh and dried fruit in little bowls and bags and they happily munched on that.

One they get to nursery and the kids party stage, I’m afraid they’ll eat what they like. And as for teenagers 🙄

Won't be long until the baby is eating the chains on the swings at the park... Being a parent is hard enough without making lots of extra rules and giving yourself extra expectations. Xxx

Speaking as someone whose mother was obsessive about certain aspects of my diet when I was small, I have a very odd relationship with food now. Better to take "little of everything " approach and learn when to say "enough" , I think.

Loving that the side bar ad is for Krispy Kremes glazed doughnuts.
