DH accidentally let baby eat some cinnamon bun?

AIBU to be annoyed by this... DH had my 6mo and he was eating a cinnamon bun. He said baby grabbed it (she's very fast with her hands) and brought it to her mouth. He immediately stopped her but not before he said she ate a tiny amount of it. Baby is acting fine and no reactions or anything but I'm still annoyed? I'm strict with what she eats don't want her eating processed foods, and obviously no added sugars until 2. She's only had a handful of freshly made fruits and veggies since starting solids at 6 months, I guess now we can add cinnamon bun to the list.

AIBU to be annoyed when it was an accident? I didn't go mad at him or anything but it's been nagging at me since it happened.

Is this a wind up ?? It wasn’t crack

What exactly are you worried about?

Explainthe · 13/03/2025 22:57

Dear lord.......

Babies at that age do grab any available food and put it straight in their mouths, so I don't think you can be angry at anyone.

It also will cause zero harm. All is well.

Was it laced with ketamine?

Your DH should LTB.

That's the main thing I was worried about, that it would negatively effect baby in some way. I see now I'm probably overreacting. I'm diagnosed with PPA and it can be very annoying sometimes.

Please tel me this isnt real

BestZebbie · 13/03/2025 22:59

The baby will be 100% fine.

The baby is however programmed to want to try to eat what she sees her parents eating and enjoying, so if this is going to be a big source of conflict then your DH should probably not be eating things that aren't for her over her head now she is grabbing food.

Marmalady75 · 13/03/2025 22:59

I just can’t! I’ve had a long day and this is…just, no…calm down and eat a cinnamon bun…maybe it’ll help you unclench

mum11970 · 13/03/2025 22:59

Get a grip and unless you had an affair I assume it’s also your dh’s baby not just your baby

Amanitacae · 13/03/2025 22:59

OBVIOUSLY no sugar until 2.

you know sugar compound in a cinnamon bun is identical to the one in an apple/carrot.

HipHipWhoRay · 13/03/2025 22:59

I think you should save this OP, and have a read of it on their 10th birthday.

But, don’t worry. No harm done- babies are robust!

Smartiepants79 · 13/03/2025 22:59

Ummm, you need to unclench.
This is utterly harmless unless she has some kind of unknown allergy to cinnamon.
This will happen many times over the next few months. Please don’t freak out over her every time she grabs for food, she’ll get a complex.
She’ll be eating playdough and glue before you know it.
She’ll be fine.

Lucky baby 😋

Jellycatspyjamas · 13/03/2025 23:00

What did you think might happen if your child ate a piece of a baked good?

DelphiniumHolly · 13/03/2025 23:00

It’s just a bit of bun…

Wait until baby is crawling and eating chips off the floor at soft play.

TheaBrandt1 · 13/03/2025 23:00

Social services then the police.

MotherCarmody · 13/03/2025 23:01

One of mine ate a fag butt once. She's 28 now. Pretty sure your baby will be fine 🤣

Twonewcats · 13/03/2025 23:01

Honestly, you'll need to reassess what pisses you off. With a child, you're going to have a lot of things you and DH will disagree on, and eating a tiny bit of actual food is the least stressful thing you'll ever disagree on.

Megapint · 13/03/2025 23:01

Be careful it's a gateway bun. Before you know, baby will be sneaking out to go to Gregg's for doughnuts, apple turnovers, Chelsea buns. Who knows where it could lead?

Chocolateisameal · 13/03/2025 23:02

In the next few months, I can guarantee that she will also manage to eat small amounts of carpet, fluff, clothing, soil and anything else that she can get her hands on. She will be fine.

August24Mama · 13/03/2025 23:02

Okay I definitely see now I'm overreacting. I was just worried it was upset her tummy or be bad for her or something. Gonna just laugh about it and forget about it!
