AIBU- Friend gave my 6.5mo boy ice...

[Torrelar]

The ice came out of his alcoholic/sugary drink, into HIS mouth then into my son's mouth without asking my partner (his dad) who was in charge of him yesterday evening whilst I worked.
I thought it's just wrong? I wouldn't dream of putting anything in a little baby's mouth without asking their parents first. Mind you, he has a 6.5 month old daughter too. Just thought it was a bit disrespectful. Or am I overreacting?

I would not like that. Grubby and more seriously, ice cubes are a known choking hazard.

Ah that makes sense @sayyouwill.

I hadn't thought of that, and Can be the only reason.

If helping teething pain was the case, I think I'd just let it go, he thought he was helping.

Ice would be fine. Ice that has been sucked by someone else? No.

STOP... Collaborate and listen

Starlight2345 the title of this thread literally says friend...

Gosh, I thought from the title that someone had fed your DS an ice cream.

I don't think ice is that bad. Not great that he sucked it first.

Definitely a bit silly and yucky but probably thought he was helping. If it makes u feel any better my eldest brother recently babysat my then 4month old ds2 during a family emergency, thought it would be fine as he has 4kids. He fed him a tangerine!. I then had to deal with explosive poo for the next 24hours. Have a quiet word with him. I also would never give someone's baby without prior discussion with parent.

This has reminded me of the time when, 23 years ago, I had to suppress my overwhelming horror at catching sight of dfil (who'd successfully reared 5 of his own to maturity) feeding my 6m pfb small amounts of ice-cream off his little finger. I think I swiftly decided pfb needed changing immediately, and swooped him away.

Was more laid back with the next two!

YANBU tha is disgusting. I would be horrified if anyone put something from their mouth into my babies mouth, especially a chocking hazard and especially if it had come from an alcoholic drink. The friend is an idiot.

Thank you all for your replies.
They both weren't unduly intoxicated by any means! Think my SO was just having a coke, friend wasn't drunk. We have known him from our antenatal class, our babies were born 2.5 hours apart so kinda bonded through that. But anyway I'm over it, just wanted to get other opinions but alas it didn't change my mind! I think it's gross and shouldn't be done.

I hate the attitude on MN that you can't have any preferences and make your own choices about your own child. And if you don't agree with what someone else does without your permission, then you're a neurotic PFB.

Newborn and very young children are quite vulnerable so what's harmless for a toddler isn't actually ok for a 6 month old.

So yeah, I'd be annoyed and I'd specifically ask him not to do it again.

To be honest it's grim but not the worst they will put in their mouths by any stretch.

I was once sitting down watching telly being fed raspberries by my friends (then) 2 (or 3) year old. I turned around after having at least 7 and realised she was popping them into her mouth and then giving them to me to eat. -- not envy

Neurotic parent of a PFB.
Though seeing as I don't have siblings, then you could say I'm a PFB!
