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.

Behave yourself woman!!

I know someone whoes baby ate a live spider but thry are healthy happy teen now!.
I also know someone who didn't let their child drink anything but water and had a clean food diet until they were about 12 and could buy their own food at school. The child is now 21 and a stoner and quite overweight.
A lesson that being over restrictive and cautious with your childs diet isnt necessarily the best way forward.

Maybe read the thread....

My baby granddaughter is lightening quick when it comes to food and would absolutely do something like this.

Your baby will be fine up. At least baby ate food. My first DC bit a fairy light off of our Christmas tree, the second munched a tub of Sudocreme. Both are now in their twenties. Perhaps think about what other help you can get for your PPA because you will burnout over the next 20 years otherwise with the nuts behaviour of kids

Chips off the floor will be a nutritious addition to the child’s diet compared to some of the things a crawling baby will spot and travel at 90 mph to get to and eat. Your baby will be at peak crawling during the summer months so parks, beaches, gardens will all be five star restaurants.

Well if it happens after midnight then they turn into a Gremlin.

Oh no OP. Your baby is fucked now. It’s too late she’s a sugar addict now.

She’ll end up as the face of the body positive movement by aged 10 and will be on Ozempic by 15.

Thoughts and prayers hun.

Can’t wait for your next thread when your child is 20 and used scissors to wrap a present unsupervised and how they also had a pice of birthday cake at a friends home

My daughter licked the wheel of her puschair as we arrived home from the metro. Unclench. You have a very very very long way ahead of you.

Ok this thread has gotten way too crazy, I'd delete it but I can't so I'd appreciate if it could be locked. A lot of people can't read a whole thread or even all of my responses before commenting, leading to some unnecessarily mean comments.

I know now I was unreasonable, I've had anxiety most of my life even before having a baby and having a baby has increased it tenfold. I know I need to work on this and after this, I'm going to make doing that a priority. Thank you to everyone for helping me see it more clearly. I really appreciate all of the people that are being kind about it. Baby is fine and I can laugh about the whole thing now, DH is also fine for the people who were worried about that. For the people defending me, you're all compassionate, nice people and I wish you all lovely weekends. :)

Ok you realised you are being unreasonable but please get over this nonsense about no sugar before 2. Have seen so many people have these dumb rules and their children are the WORST.
Friend who did this and their child is absolutely obsessed with junk food and stuffs their face at any chance they get, yet friend proudly thinks differently.
DC friend is banned screen times, games or anything related and he is OBSESSED with it, yet the mum is proud of having a house with only books.

Absolutely everything in moderation and teach your kids healthy habits and boundaries, don't hold these things as forbidden fruit.

People are horrible on this board and love nothing more than to join in a pile on. It's good you realised you overreacted and hopefully you'll feel better next time your baby grabs something they're not supposed to - as you can see from the stories in this thread it's going to happen!

(To join in, my son was too quick for me aged 2 and took a huge slurp of the nice fresh Caipirinha I had on the table)

I mean this with all kindness OP, but displaying such incredibly tense and controlling behaviour around your baby will do them far, far more harm than if they scoffed a bucket of Haribo.

My brother managed to grab a glass of beer and drink some at a similar age - our Dad was holding one in each arm. I can happily report he's still alive.

@August24Mama don't mind the posters who haven't taken the time to even view your subsequent posts if not read the full thread, that's their problem not yours, this thread is gold, don't get it deleted, it goes to show that we've ALL been there 😊

Thank you for starting this thread even if it started from a place of anxiety, it's a good reminder to us all of how babies & toddlers have a laugh at our expense sometimes x

Oh god yes, one of mine was always eating woodlice and she's now a strapping teenager (although she DOES eat absolute shite). Glad you've seen the light!

We have all been there, mine at the contents of a nappy as in the little balls that absorb the moisture! He is 12 now and a bit fussier with his food 😂

My DD loved woodlice when she was a baby, we were forever scooping them out of her mouth! Woodlice are now forever referred to as 'crunchy land prawns' in our house

My DS helped himself to my mojito at about 11m, early walker and was bloody quick!
he also ate a shocking amount of cat food, dog food and a slug 🤢

Let me guess… first baby?

Mine were eating woodlice off the floor by 9 months.

Good for you OP, that's a really great, and important, attitude to have. Our children are generally led by our behaviours and attitudes so your awareness is only going to benefit you all.
This is one of those threads that could have gone a different, more lighthearted way, considering your acknowledgement that you may have over reacted but, alas, some people can't help themselves.

Your child will be crawling around on the floor soon, if they're not already - and hopefully you'll let them crawl around on the ground in the summer! They'll be exposed to all sorts, happily for their immune system. Cinnamon bun is not problem.

Wait for the worms!
