To be peeved that my mum is feeding my 7 month DD profiterole?

[Purplebuns]

Just that! Honestly she was baby sitting her for one hour!

Also pfb syndrome here, will it hurt her?

IME, some of the older generation like nothing better than to give the DCs a bit of "naughty" food. My DS2's first ever taste of solids was chocolate ice-cream (age 4 months), given by my (lovely) MIL.

No lasting harm done, I shouldn't think

grandmas perogitive to spoil the kids, which included weaning on profiterole!

Not a big deal as a one off but I can see why you might be annoyed, and don't be silly of course it won't hurt her!

She'll be fine, keep it in perspective. Its only dessert, she wasn't poisoned!

nah, it won't hurt her at all.

I'm sure she eats worse!

Wait until she's eating mud, snails, slugs and cat food....it's coming...soon!!

My mum gave my 8 mo prawn curry. He loved it and she dealt with the subsequent nappies. Shouldn't think it will hurt at all. Don't fret.

erm - "I'm sure she eats worse" was not a dig at your cooking just that kids that age stick anything and everything in their mouths!

Thanks for replying, only two days ago it was mince pie! (I had only left the room for awhile then as well!)
And my little sister is 9, and was saying she had told her not to give her profiterole, even she knew!
Honestly parents!

She will be fine......

Blimey tis christmas after all

Profiterole is quite balanced nutritionally, actually

Sounds like something my MIL would do! She used to think I was mean as I wouldn't give her ice-cream till she was over 1!

my parents both do this. i always ask them "when my lips move do you hear any sound coming out" because i think i remember saying give him fruit i dont remember saying give him cakes. parents are put on this earth to annoy us just like we will annoy our dcs when where older.

what a waste.

a 7month old wont appreicate a profiterole.

I used to be the same with my dd. You just wait till you have another, you will relax a bit! My 11m old son had coke to wash down his carvery today

I would be annoyed too. MIL does the same, she once gave her a cherry bakewell at 10am!! I don't eat cakes or sweets so never buy them.

She and my ExH are forever giving her sweets and chocolate even though they KNOW that I don't give them to DD. I let DD have chocolate very occasionally, but she has to earn it. She is also a very poor eater so not going to let her fill herself up on crap. Every mealtime is an ordeal.

Am a single mum and have to deal with the fall out. The smirk on MIL's face really puts the boot in. I know it doesn't harm them, but it is hard when you are doing all the discipline and if I don't want my daughter to have certain things, others should respect that. YANBU.

My husband and my two youngest are currently staying at my MIL (I will be following on sat with my oldest!). He phoned today and my 10 month old was eating a bag of quavers in the background lol I have never fed her crisps and I felt this wave of horror sweep over but I managed to snap out of it before I said anything!

I just hope that I can curb my mother, without losing my rag with her at some point!
Parents are annoying, I will just try not to be a pain to my dd when she is older!

YABU and very PFB!

What exactly is it that bothers you about it?

...

Eh? What's that in aid of?

You know if you don't want to hear that YABU, then you really ought not to post asking if people think you are!

My 10mth old DS had a nice munch on half eaten cat food today - I would much rather it had been profiterole!

'will it hurt her?'

err get.a.grip

YANBU although I guess it depends on what else your DD eats - at that age mine had only eaten baby rice and some fruit / veggies.

Well, I was being lighthearted.

The issue is that as a new parent you are bombarded with info proclaiming you are going to murder your precious infant, by giving them dairy/sugar/unhealthy products.

Therefore I enquired, whether it would harm her. Whilst holding my hands up for pfb syndrome.

The other issue is I am a bit narked that my mother keeps giving her these things, which was, I thought quite clear.

The was because I do not want a conflict.
