DH accidentally let baby eat some cinnamon bun?

Some of these posts are harsh! I mean, the OP says she has PPA and I completely understand the wanting to control food when baby is very little.

OP, it's ok. My first arrggh moment was went I gave my daughter a spoonful of my food which had shellfish in... everything was fine. DD was fine.

I think it's more damaging to obsess over sugar and label good and bad foods than it is to let your child have some occasionally. As she gets older you can't stop her having food like cake etc at parties etc. those who have had no exposure to sugar etc (my DD included) were stuffing their face their face at the first opportunity they had to have something 'sweet'. Ie. Low sugar cake. That was a wake up call for me to relax a little. Ill let her taste whatever I'm eating (soup which is probably too salty), yogurt (with a touch of maple syrup). She enjoys it, it's nice to see her happy. I'm also hoping that desensitizes her a bit.

My point: tiny tastes here and there are probably better than nothing at all. Unless you want a child that eats so many sweets on Halloween that they throw up, or chocolate at Easter, or birthday cake.

Ps. I started a list of 'babies first foods'. I stopped adding to it at about 10 foods because she was just having everything. Just make sure to introduce the allergens separately. ☺️

For goodness sake what is wrong with a 6 month old baby eating a bit of cinnamon bun, it's not going to hurt her, she isn't gorging on them.

Oh Jesus. It’s your first child isn’t it.

I am all for the world ending its relationship with processed foods - would happily see the back of the forever - however, get a grip.

Don’t worry OP, it’s natural to feel concerned when you are doing everything you can night and day to protect a little one, and especially if you have PPA or similar things will sometimes be even harder. You’re doing a great job.

My DD used to eat the dirt out of my planters. She's 40 now.

I vividly remember whenever I went to a certain friends place we would sneak to the garage and eat all the dogs choc drops ( I assume they were cacao mixed with god knows what).
Sorry to be a bore but please do not let your child eat a snail or slug. A teenager close to where I lived ate one as a dare and caught the bacteria that some can carry.( rat lung disease) He lived for about 3 more years, heavily brain damaged. 99.9% of the time it would be fine but he was very unlucky. I just thought I'd let people know, as it's so rare that it doesn't seem to be well known.

Not only are you unreasonable to be annoyed - you're showing a disturbing level of fanaticism.

My sister and I regularly ate cat dry food for their bowl. We survived.

Do unfollow the accounts that you find anxiety inducing. Life became easier once I deleted Insta!

1st baby I see. 😂

sharing food with babies is one of best ways to encourage them to eat. Obviously processed sugar isn’t ideal but I really wouldn’t stress. A friend was over the other day with her 7 month old and let her eat cake, not the icing and we laughed at how much her face lit up and how we’d never have done this with PFB, but a wee bit sugar isn’t going to harm them

they will put all sorts in their mouths

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

and also very gracious in accepting an apology.

I gave my friends son marmite toast to chew on aged 12 weeks,he thoroughly enjoyed it and is now aged 30 earning mega bucks in the city!!

Chill. Childhood is going to be a long road if you’re posting about this at 6 months…

Ffs

Omg call the cops!!

Get a grip, she'll be eating carpet fluff and licking the doormat soon 🙄

My first born aged 6 weeks put their fist in a pot of kipper pate and licked it clean and asked for more. They are now 19 and still love smoked fish!

My husband’s grandmother shoved a small piece of chocolate into my 6mo child’s mouth whilst she was holding him. I protested No No and went to grab him off her, she pushed my hands back, other family members laughed out loud and to my surprise, darling baby boy slobbered and chomped away on the choc with great delight. He didn’t choke or die, but I was extremely bothered by her audacity to do such a thing to my baby.

Precious First Born syndrome OP? What is wrong with a 6 month old having a bit of cinnamon bun?

No worries, you're right I was out of order x

Why on earth would it affect the baby? You are totally over-reacting! From when they were about 6 months old, my husband would give them a tiny bit of what he was eating, suitably mashed, puréed etc so they could cope with it. When I queried it, he said it was to get them used to different flavours so they wouldn’t be picky eaters. Obviously, he only gave them food that was safe and easy for them to eat, scrambled egg, mashed potato, white fish mashed up, banana etc. They are in their 50s now and eat anything (except for our elder daughter who won’t eat raw tomato, but she doesn’t know why she can’t).
on the strength of that, and assuming the food itself is baby friendly, I think he is doing the right thing.

When my dd was 8 weeks old my mum took her dummy out of her mouth, dipped it in a sugar bowl and then popped it back in.

Dread to think what mine ate :) Oldest is 31 now so they survived.
