...To want to eat my baby?

My 5 month old is just...too much. He's becoming worryingly cute. I am DANGEROUSLY close to full on chowing down on one of his chubby lil' ham hock legs. Sprinkling a bit of seasoning on there, perhaps adding a thyme garnish and having a good old nosh. Anyone else ever feel the same?

I frequently chase DS(3) all over the house to eat him all up. DD is only 5 months so can't escape me so easily yet (mwah-ha-ha)

YADNBU. (Pretend-noms on 3-month-old's delicious little head)

My toddler firmly states 'mummy stop eating me I am NOT food!' Spoil sport. YANBU! Do it while he'll let you

Babies are made for eating!

Trust me, I also try to gnaw on my (slightly chubby but in a cute way) 15 month old son's turkey drummers all the time too...perhaps I am a cannibal...worrying...

You're welcome to try 8 month old DS2 who is looking worryingly like he's doing a poo Smile.

Nancy66 · 21/09/2013 14:16

Has he got those lovely bracelets of fat around his wrist? That's my favourite part on babies...

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 21/09/2013 14:18

I used to lick mine. I simply could not stop myself from licking their tiny newborn foreheads. I think it's an animal thing. All mammals wash their young, dont they?
although when I tell people, they think im weird, so maybe not Grin

My baby keeps trying to eat me. She loves biting my nose. Giggles delightedly when she succeeds. The other day I was having a siesta and baby assessed whether I was asleep or not by biting my nose. What a lovely way to be woken.

Fairylea · 21/09/2013 14:21

Aw this thread is nice :)

I frequently kiss and playfully eat my 15 month old ds's toes. So, so cute :) nothing more scrummy than baby toes. When he was born I remember being so excited to peel back his little towel and look at his pink babby toes!

bearleftmonkeyright · 21/09/2013 14:22

Give it thirteen years and you'll wish you had Grin

Thinkingofmyfabfour · 21/09/2013 14:25

Grin I'm like this too. In fact I'd still eat my ds2's peachy cheeks and love sniffing the back of his neck. Ditto ds3, and dd (9 weeks). It's worn off a bit with ds1 who is 6 though I still adore him from top to toe!

ThreeMyselfAndI · 21/09/2013 14:35

YADNBU my youngest dd is 19 month's and I love the smell of her, she's absolutely adorable with her big sky blue saucers for eyes and blonde hair.

I often get the urge to squeeze her so hardBlush I don't by the way but it's rather overwhelming at times.

sarah millican described it perfectly although she feels it for kittens and puppies.

I think im a bit weird

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 21/09/2013 15:33

I used to do this with my Ds, looks like someone else has been doing it now judging by the love bite on his neck Urghh (he is 20)

KFFOREVER · 21/09/2013 15:38

YANBU. I love kissing my 6month old ds bum cheeks, only when hes clean though. He is just so yummy.

Felyne · 21/09/2013 15:45

I want to eat my kids too. Like EnidClowes my daughter used to say "No Mummy, you NOT eat me. I are NOT alicious!" (delicious). Now that she's 3 I still tell her I will have her toes for my tea. I think she half believes me...

pianodoodle · 21/09/2013 15:48

My 2 year old still has baby hair and big chubby ham legs :)

I love it when they've had their bath I could smell their heads for ages Grin

OHforDUCKScake · 21/09/2013 16:15

I had a friend who genuinely wanted to eat her baby. She used to think about wrapping him in foil and baking him in the oven. By the time she had it with her second child, it happened again and she started to suspect it was a symptom of PND (has anyone heard of that before, out of interest?).
She didnt eat them though.

I get the urge to sink my teeth into my kids, they are just SO soft and cute and it makes me want to bite them really hard.

I have to really stop myself biting right down.
And they smell divine too.

KatoPotato · 21/09/2013 16:18

Haha ha this is ace, I'm always scoffing my 3yo! Me and DH say to each other 'oh look! A tasty wee chicken supper!'

Doodledumdums · 21/09/2013 16:20

YADNBU! My 8mo is delicious! I see him more with a rosemary garnish though, not thyme.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 21/09/2013 16:24

My 5 month old DS has been a little chunkster since he was about 4 weeks old. I love having a gnaw of his chubby cheeks and a good squidge of his chunky thighs with their many creases!
Yum!

:)

MrsBungle · 21/09/2013 16:29

Chubby baby legs are made for munching on! My 16 month old is starting to get skinny :(

SupermansBigRedPants · 21/09/2013 16:29

I usually love chowing down on my 6 week old dd2 but she has just stopped screaming puking and ffarting at the same time. The screaming looks set to start up again soon.

Ds at 22 months and non pukey is delicious though!

littlestressy · 21/09/2013 16:29

YADNBU I love munching on my 21mo, his chubby tummy, fat little legs and arms and especially his gorgeous ears. Yum!! Smile
ImTooHecsy I licked my son's head after he was born too, he was ventouse delivery and had a cone head, I had this urge to lick it back into shape, very primal animal!!

catgirl1976 · 21/09/2013 16:31

DS told me very firmly this morning to "Not eat my toes please mummy. Silly mummy. Not eat toes"

:( I like eating his toes. And his chubby little thighs

YANBU
