DH accidentally let baby eat some cinnamon bun?

Mine are some of the cats dry food when she started crawling. Baby #1 I would have freaked out but this was baby #2 and I just removed the food and carried on with my day.

Oh she knew what you meant, she was just trying to be clever 😏 typical on mumsnet.

You do realise that sugar isn't actually dangerous for your baby to eat, right?
Yes obviously in large amounts it should be avoided but sugars are pretty much an essential part of the human diet?
Fruits and veg contain lots of sugar, things like sandwich bread will contain sugar etc. Please don't get yourself het up over it or your child will be the one sneaking sugary treats behind your back in a few years.

My then-9-month-old at his first Christmas lunch secreted mini pigs in blankets down his nappy for
snacking. Didn’t catch him for a while (busy Christmas day). He’s 16 today. I don’t think he still hides snacks in his pants, but who can tell?

this is exactly what baby led weaning is. Having anxiety is horrible and I’m sorry you are experiencing it- CbT can be really helpful for this and local IAPT services should prioritise you as you are perinatal. It’s free and really worth doing.

No

You need to get a grip. Mine was eating spiders and bits of leaf as soon as she could crawl. It’s impossible to be on them 24/7 without going mad. She’s fine. These arbitrary rules are just making parents neurotic.

I had terrible PPA (always about someone else hurting DC) and left it way too late to seek help so I hope you’re getting some!

bless you - don’t be so hard on yourself

babies once weaned/ready for food will eat what they can

mini blondes at 5.5mths has her first macdonalds 🙀😳

dh and I were in tenerife and on the beach. Dh and I had a madonalds - I had a chicken sandwich. Dd on my lap. She suddenly lunged mouth open wide and took huge bite of bun and chicken and sat chomping it

Just to add, I think you have taken the advice really well OP @August24Mama and I hope your PPA gets better soon. 💐

Cinnamon buns are food of the gods...let her have a tiny bit now and again.

DD2 was a grabber. We had to give her own meal at every mealtime so she had something suitable. On one hand, she was very easy to wran as she ate what we ate. With her hands, no spoons. But we did have to be inventive... (fortunately we had a toddler so we were already cooking mild healthy food.).
Her first food was a pile of Scouts medical forms. Fortunately the Scouts parents found it funny and re did the paperwork!

The advice used to be Babies can't read baby books. Maybe now it should be Babies can't use Social Media.

At 6 month your child is licking carpet. Let them have some buns now and again.

Don’t panic OP. When I read your post I thought cinnamon was now deemed poisonous to under-threes and I’d missed the memo!

Take comfort in the fact your DC grabbed an item of food. When my DD was around the same age she rolled across the floor while I was (briefly) in the next room putting the kettle on, and I found her behind the floor-length curtain eating a woodlouse. That wasn’t on my ‘allowed’ food list either but at least it could -hopefully - be classed as organic.

I hope you can get help for your anxiety - there are many challenging years ahead which are best met with a level head and a robust sense of humour.

Friend of mine: first baby’s first foods: steamed veg, Greek yog, etc. second baby’s first food: churros

YABU, baby will be fine. What do you think will happen? Are you waiting for some kind of reaction from baby?

As soon as mine started walking I had to ve on high alert: insects, cigarette butts, spitted chewing gum- all went into his mouth. He just bent down and put it in. I had to struggle to open his mouth to get it out. I put a dummy into his mouth if we were outside walking on a pavement because he was so fast. I bet you can imagine what people said about that... turned out he was autistic so that explained it...

@2021x Op @August24Mama has already good humourly accepted it was an over reaction... jesus wept give her a break 🙄

Yes YABU and you know it otherwise you wouldn’t have asked.

If you have PND, please focus on getting this sorted. Take the pills, so the therapy and face the trauma.

Good for you OP it's easier all round

When my son was a baby & up until he was two-ish I purposely wouldn't give him anything sweet because my thoughts were "what he doesn't know he can't miss"

That said my auntie & his nana minded him for me when I went back to work & I sure as hell wasn't going to police what they did (within reason) he greeted me one day when I was picking him up with a sausage in his hand so you kind of have to laugh & just accept you can't control everything 😆

I genuinely love it when someone who has been a bit of a div just totally accepts the feedback and owns it. It takes a big person to admit they got it wrong.

Fair play to you OP. I think most of us have had moments of madness with our babies and got our knickers in a twist about something inconsequential. I hope your PPA improves but don’t beat yourself up over this.

You had a mad moment but you’re over it now. No harm done. Onwards and upwards to the next loony thing your baby inevitably does! 😂❤️

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This made me genuinely chuckle!

DD’s first food age 5 months was a fistful of icing off a piece of carrot cake. She was fast and rammed most of her fist in her mouth before we could blink.

If the child is okay, that's fine.

Ah this is a perfect PFB moment!
You will look back on this in a few years and have a good laugh. @August24Mama

In what way would it negatively affect them? What would they have a reaction to? In a cinnamon bun?

I’d understand if it was raw honey or something, but it’s a cinnamon bun. Mine ate all sorts at that age. Older ones would ‘sneak’ them McDonald's fries, chocolate and so forth if they had them as a treat thinking they were being a nice brother/sister. Never hurt anybody and made for good sibling relations😁.

At the end of the mother and baby yoga course I did, DD1 was about four months old. While I was listening to the teacher talk about next term DD1 ate the paper slip she had just given out.

That's good, all's well that ends well.

I am very, very sorry to read that you have PPA. That must be a real blow. You are doing well to be communicating on here.
