Fed my PFB cookie! AIBU?

[AvoidContactWithEyes]

Last night, my husband's grandmother (82) who lives with us (long story) fed crumbs of cookie to DS (you know one of those Millie's cookie things) while I had my head turned. He's 6 months and has so far only had a few spoons of pureed veg.

I snatched DS away and said can you NEVER do that again before flouncing leaving the room to calm down. Feel bad because she is lovely, DS adores her and she is elderly, but she is completely with it and knew well what she was doing (she was being deliberately sneaky about it). I was still seething over breakfast this morning. Husband thinks I should let it go.

PFB thoughts I am having (just to amuse)
Did the cookie contain nuts? What if DS is allergic?
HE COULD HAVE CHOKED!!
What else have you been sneaking him when I haven't been around?
What if it upsets PFB's tummy?
What if PFB rejects my home cooking now for all eternity
Will it have any harmful effects?

Seriously though, am really fucked off. Gah...would you be similarly annoyed if this happened?

Classic, text book, object lesson in PFB over-reaction.

Get a grip. Your husband is right

I gave my 7 month old some dominos potato wedges last night. He's also found a carburys caramel the other day under the table and was chewing on the wrapper and sucking out the chocolate.

. Apologise for your reaction last night. Explain like an adult what you want DS to eat/not eat.

You are utterly bonkers conkers

But this is not an uncommon reaction to grannies feeding evil substances to pfbs

So that means that half the MNers on this thread, who are throwing grips at you, have reacted in exactly the same way.

Yes dear readers, even me.

"So that means that half the MNers on this thread, who are throwing grips at you, have reacted in exactly the same way"

Yes But possibly not in quite so extreme a manner - in fact more a case of 'Don't you think he's a little young for that?' rather than full on grab and flounce. And not MIL or mum but SIL who wanted my 3m old to eat some chocolate.

I think the difference was that I was quite prepared to beleive that everyone else knew better (having been there several times before) and as long as he was being fed, kept clean, loved and cuddled there wasn't much that would hurt him.

Ds3 keeps stripping himself off at night and eating poo all the effort I put into cooking healthy meals for him.

Yadbu! Your poor Granny. It was crumbs fgs!

Sorry haven't read all posts. oh, the shame

YANBU. To be annoyed with sneaky MIL
YABU to care about PFB having a bit of biscuit.
YAB very U to have flounced.

My DS1 fed my DS2 an entire chocolate biscuit at four/five months. I was a bit but it was funny to see how much he enjoyed it. I guess it was more tasty than milk and baby food.

This is such a funny thread. 'scraps like a dog', 'should be having 3 meals a day at six months', the obligatory 'crack in a bottle'.

OP, does your baby appear to have botulism? If not, I wouldn't worry about the (potential) honey.

It was a few crumbs. YABU. You should let it go.

Thanks raspberry or it's so awful he would rather eat poo!

He wants a big kiss as soon as he sees me, I make sure I have a baby wipe in hand whenever entering his bedroom

In my day they were shoving sausages at your 8 week old with a cheery 'It'll be good for her gums'

No one would be laughing if baby had reacted to the soya/ sesame/nuts/ honey/spices/gluten/wheat or any of the other stuff that potentially could have been in it. The baby had been eating solids fir a week!!!! The mum would have no idea yet what baby can or can't tolerate and sneaking food is not right. I'm sure she knows that shouting wasn't the way to go and I'm sure she will apologize and explain. But I think it's cruel to laugh at someone eho is merely trying to do the best job she can to raise her son. No one has to agree with her and you can all do what you want with your children.

I'm sure many posters her have joined the judge pants threads on reports of seeing babies with gregs or fruit shoots etc. The op just wants to
Be a good mum I'm sure she's thrilled at being a source of entertainment for you all.

All gran needed to to was ask. Or better still wait a few mo this when her dgs was established in his eating habits.

1/ YABU
2/ first world problem
3/ it didn't kill him.
4/ you SHOUTED at your granny!
5/ my MIL let dd crawl into the downstairs loo, and I caught her sucking the toilet brush. Believe me, in MILs house, that is FAR worse!
6/ I started weaning DS with jarred baby food. Choc pudding was his first.
7/ I started weaning DD with a pure healthy list of veg purees.
8/ both my kids now have identical tastes for sugar filled crap!
You need to unclench!

Presumably, honey in a cookie would be thoroughly cooked, thus killing any trace of botulism??

Moomin, really?

this cannot be for real

its a joke right??????

haha, funny PFB

Genuine question - obviously allergies are a valid concern, and it must be terrifying to think of your child having a bad reaction to something. But what can you do, never let them have any nuts/wheat/gluten/soy etc just in case? Surely you have to just be relaxed about them eating normal everyday foods until/unless you have reason to think there's a problem?

Yes but not after a week surely

boak at moomin too!!!

wish I could unread that!

This is such an obvious wind up.

name well I don't think he'd rather eat pop than my cooking, he loves food ( obviously he will eat anything)

I'm not sure he's actually eating it but he is painting tge cot with it and his mouth!

Poo not pop!
