To not let DD have sweets, juice etc

[crazycatlady81]

Would I be seen as "weird" not to give my DD any (she is just a baby at the moment). I was allowed loads of sweets and unlimited fizzy drinks as a child and it didn't do me any harm (that I know of- I'm a healthy weight, have no fillings etc). I don't tend to drink anything bar water (and coffee now) and do not have a sweet tooth at all. It just doesn't sit right with me when I think about giving DD juice, chocolate bars, crisps etc. I think if she just never has fizzy juice (coke etc) then she won't bother with it? I am sure I will give her the occasional sweet treat eg chocolate bar, ice cream but not all the time and certainly not until she's older? My cousin has sent me a picture of her 6 month old eating some chocolate Easter egg and I just think- why

What age did you start giving your DC things like that?

She only drinks formula milk or water at the moment. No baby juice etc and I would be pissed off if someone eg. my mum gave her it whilst babysitting.

AIBU

Yes, I don't see anyone citing proper research about how sweet deprivation leads to obesity etc later in life. Just anecdotal

DS has juice and squash at parties and as treats but otherwise drinks are milk or water as standard. Of course he'll drink other things when older but at least his teeth have been spared a few years of attack. And yes I know milk is also considered a sugar
