Baby on bus eating pizza!

Would you leave your baby in pushchair eating pizza?

Baby was definitely not walking yet and eating a piece of pizza on their own, lay back abit not even upright in the pushchair!😱

AIBU to think the base of a pizza isn't suitable for a baby, let alone eating without someone really watching over them.😕

Were they on the bus alone then?

I wouldn't leave my baby on a bus eating pizza without a can of coke to wash it down with. Clearly that parent is neglectful.

Sesame2011 · 11/01/2026 21:44

What kind of pizza?

Needmorelego · 11/01/2026 21:45

It's essentially a bit of bread?

FionnulaTheCooler · 11/01/2026 21:46

Shocking. Everyone knows a Greggs sausage roll is the best way to keep your child quiet on the bus.

Atrocious

Shock horror 😲

Depends on the quality of the pizza, surely? Was it a frozen UPF pizza from somewhere rubbish or a naice, fresh, traditional pizza whilst you were traveling in Napoli?

Barrellturn · 11/01/2026 21:47

Pizza is fine. Carbs, one of your 5 a day, calcium. Possibly a bit salty but depends how much they eat and what else they eat that day.

Simonjt · 11/01/2026 21:47

Pineapple or no pineapple?

Well my uncle apparently let my cousin chomp on a pork pie at a similar age, my mum always used to recount this at family get together, s my cousin is now 55 and very healthy and his Dad was a GP

FuzzyWolf · 11/01/2026 21:48

You can make some very healthy homemade pizzas for children and an infant who is not walking covers quite a varied age. They could be three.

Lucky baby. What I wouldn’t give to be reclined on a bus eating pizza

Overthebow · 11/01/2026 21:49

Where were the parents?

ThatWasMyLastFatFreeFrush · 11/01/2026 21:50

It's bread, cheese and tomato sauce. Could be worse.

ResusciAnnie · 11/01/2026 21:52

I’d have thought a pizza crust would be ideal if you’re teething! Not much different to a rusk.

Overthebow · 11/01/2026 21:49

Where were the parents?

Probably up the back of the bus snogging. Poor baby.

ResusciAnnie · 11/01/2026 21:53

Also do you really think Italian babies don’t eat pizza??

FurForksSake · 11/01/2026 21:53

Looks like you were keeping an eye so could have leapt in with some back slaps if needed?

would I leave my baby eating pizza on the bus? No, I’d worry they’d chuck it at someone.

CrackingOn50 · 11/01/2026 21:54

Is this an undiscovered verse of Wheels on the Bus?

Bournetilly · 11/01/2026 21:54

Pizza is fine. Eating lay down is obviously not fine, depends how far they were reclined.

SouthLondonMum22 · 11/01/2026 21:55

Upright is obviously the better choice to prevent choking but other than that? Meh, it's just a bit of pizza.

Smartiepants79 · 11/01/2026 21:55

Pizza crust is essentially just a piece of bread. As an occasional snack it’s fine.

PiIIock · 11/01/2026 21:56

The posts judging about ‘omg I saw a baby eating a chip or watching their mum’s phone’ are so tired.

If you felt so strongly, then tell the mum and risk being screeched at or slapped. Otherwise MYOB. You don’t know the circumstances, and you can’t change it regardless.

Ridiculous.

You want Fanta.
