to not want my baby to be given chocolate?

[MatchsticksForMyEyes]

My Grandma broke off a bit of chocolate and was about to give it to my 10mth old. I told her he wasn't to have any and she was a bit

He isn't my first, so it isn't me being pfb I think, but it was clearly a mystery to her as to why I wouldn't let him have any.

I bought my baby (11 mo) a chocolate rabbit today, he licked it quite a lot then threw it on the floor.

As I said further up the thread, I have no problem with my 3 year old having it. I just don't see what you'd get out of popping chocolate into a baby's mouth. He has no concept of what he's missing, so what's the point?!

It was MY grandma btw, so DS's great-grandma. I have an excellent relationship with her, certainly wasn't rude about it. I'm a bit about some of the responses on here. There is a middle-ground between expecting him to be weaned on mung beans and giving him chocolate and sweets on a regular basis!

Aw now I'm picturing a sweet old lady who just wanted to make a baby happy and see him smile. She probably doesn't distinguish much between your baby and your 3 year old. Don't worry about it doing him any harm, I gave DS1 chocolate occasionally from the age of about 8 months and he's just as likely to choose an apple or cracker as a chocolate biscuit these days (age 2.5).

Sweet old lady! She is lovely, but this is a woman who went to see Sin City at the cinema! She is down with the kids. I think she'll be okay

Maybe most grandparents dont realise what anxious, neurotic and quite frankly, ridiculously precious and over-protective parents their children have become these days.

My parents had the same issue with my grandparents 40 years ago. Fortunately because of this it was never an issue I had with them with either of my children.
I'd never presume to give a child anything more than a plain biscuit without checking with a parent
