DH accidentally let baby eat some cinnamon bun?

[August24Mama]

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.

Why are people trying to correct OP’s use of “my 6 month old”? It is her baby, it’s also her DH’s baby, and it’s their baby. All are correct and, besides, this isn’t Pedant’s Corner.

No reason a baby of 6mths can't have some cinnamon bun. Is the baby not your DH's since you say 'my' baby?

Mine too, although he was 8 months. He starts his Masters this year, so I dont think its damaged him too bad

Then you say 'our baby' not 'my baby', that's why. Slips of grammar are great giveaways about what someone actually thinks.

TBH cinnamon buns are the best buns out there. At least your baby is already showing excellent taste.

Better than eating pebbles in the garden!

God I want a cinnamon bun now... hoping I am of the correct age to have bun introduced to my diet....

I didn't want my DC to eat sugar until they were 1, but they both ended up getting some very occasionally and it didn't seem to do them any harm. I would only worry about this if it started happening often, in case your DD started getting a taste for sugar and rejecting other foods you would like her to eat. As an occasional treat, or even mistake, it won't hurt her and she's too young to make a mental note that she would like more of that food. But I agree with the person who said if she's starting to grab people's food you'll need to be more careful not to put food she can't have within reach.

'my 6 months old' surely that should be 'our 6 months old'.
This is a non event nothing to be upset about.

FFD 2 years and your child will be eating chicken nuggets. You really need to ease up. and by the way your husband is this child's parent too, you are not the Madonna.

Are you actually being serious????? Get a grip

To criticise her in a less obvious way. It's a passive aggressive inference that the OP is possesive over the baby to the detriment of the father.

And people are still sneering at the OP, despite her accepting that she was behaving unreasonably, and that she mentions suffering from PPA.

We would have fed a cinnamon bun to our first at 6 months, decided to avoided added sugar till two years with our second (hasn't made much difference, she fussier and almost as motivated by sugar as her older sister now!) but a lick of a cinnamon bun at 6 months would not have phased us or derailed our plan to avoid more added sugar. Chill out!

There's a button that says 'see all' next to first post. Maybe click that?

I was ridiculously uptight about what my firstborn was and wasn't allowed to eat...... until the day I caught them attempting to gnaw on the cat's tail. Said cat saw guarding dd as her sole purpose in life and didn't even react to having her tail chomped on. Even now the cat and the firstborn (who's now 15) are inseparable. Firstborn seems to exist off a diet of green grapes, pepperoni pizza and choc chip cookies if left to their own devices.

My second one came along. And was tube fed for 2.5 years because they wouldn't eat. Had they voluntarily eaten a cinnamon bun I would have rejoiced.

The world’s gone mad

Cinnamon is safe from 6 months. Occasionally it can cause some mild skin irritation but I'm guessing she had her face cleaned so should be fine.

You forgot the hospital.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Have a day off 😂

OP, this is not normal. Please seek help for anxiety or you will raise an anxious child. From 6 months my children ate what we ate, whizzed up at first obviously so no chunks.

I know I've planted my flag very firmly in old git territory with what I'm about to say, but as a baby born in 1958, I'd love to go back in time and see what my mother was feeding us when we were children.

I can guarantee she knew nothing of the modern day strictures on food for babies/toddlers/young children.

Have you bothered to read the thread before you commented? OP has a diagnosed anxiety disorder. Was there really a need to post such a spiteful comment?

It wont harm them...when DS1 was about 8 months old he started having mild allergic reactions to fruit...the hospital consultant advised us to get him to eat nutella/nutty pastries ASAP to get him used to small amounts of nuts. We'd often go to the coffee shop and share bits of almond croissant or pecan pastry (not the solid bits of nut obviously)

Sadly this happened to me. Now at the age of 60+ I’m consuming a chocolate muffin weekly. So ashamed of myself but it’s an addiction.
