To be livid with my mother

My 11 week old son had puked down himself so I ran upstairs to grab a change of clothes, I came down to my mother holding a bar of chocolate in his gob!

AIBU to think he's 11 weeks and I dont want him fed chocolate and when he is a bit bigger that Me and his dad should have given him his first tastes of food?

I asked her what she thought she was doing, my dad said 'I told her not to, barmy cow' and she just said 'ahh shut up, he likes it!'

YABU - I used to prop mine up in a bouncy chair with a bottle of espresso and a twix from 6 weeks. Your poor child is deprived and your Dear Mother knows best. *

*disclaimer - the above is a piss take.

Chocolate has quite a strong,sweet taste for a baby but adults forget this because we eat so much of it all the time. My DD when she was a baby was given a chocolate button when she was 4 months old and was sick on it so she never had chocolate til over a year old. Also its a no no to give dogs chocolate so its out of order for a baby so young.

I realise this seems a provocative post because surely NO ONE is thick enough to give a tiny baby a bar of chocolate.

I wish it was, I caught the tail end of my sons first taste of food :( stupid woman!

CRYPES What have dogs got to do with anything?

My DD is exactly the same age, and on Sunday I had to physically restrain my grandfather from feeding her pate on toast. Not a generational thing either, as my cousin later suggested that DD was staring at her son eating cream cake because she wanted some. Xmas Hmm

minired I don't know why people are so eager to shove food into them so young. At least the chocolate was melty, pate on toast :o

My MIL gave DS2 Baileys when he was 10 days old and thought I was over reacting when I asked her to stop.
