Coca cola in bottle!!!

[Roxswood]

I just saw this out today! A mother pouring coke from her can into the baby's bottle then giving it to him in his pram.
Am I the only one who's jaw is touching the floor at this?
The baby can't have been more than twelve months!

Vile, moronic behaviour. Not judging though - perhaps there's a good reason for it that no doubt someone further down this thread will provide

No - you never!!!

Couldn?t help but peek at this thread because DD was a constipated breast-fed baby and I gave her 1 bottle of prune juice a day and I was always being asked if it was Coke!!!

Quite a different story if you actually saw the mother pour it into the bottle. I just cannot imagine why anyone would offer Coke to a baby especially in a bottle ^shockç

Was it regular, diet, vanilla, lemon, cherry? Enquiring minds need to know

i've seen someone doing this too. i drink coke, am trying to give it up, but would never let the kids have it. unless they were using it to unblock a drain, i hear its quite good for that job

Love vanilla, I have it every weds, thurs and fri at work!

Hopefully diet - you wouldn't want the baby to get fat, after all....

Allo Darling.................

Sorry, hijack over, carry on.

I'm just still shuddering over what that baby's teeth will look like and no it wasn't diet.. it was the full sugary kind.. not vanilla either, I love that!
Not that diet would have been any better, I don't think artificial sweeteners are recommended for babies either.. but I just have pictures in my head of little brown stumps in his mouth in two or three years time!

My sis used to go out with a lad that worked at the Coke factory, he said they used it to clean the floors there

Coca cola's ingrediants include some of those used in toilet cleaners. At my last school they had a science day, and Coke was one of the subjects of a taste/smell v ingrediants experiment.

Mind you, I still drink it. Wouldn't let my 3yo DD have it though.

i started trying to give it up when i read somewhere that in america, they use it to clean 'stuff' off roads after car crashes.

i haven't drunk it for 2 whole days so far!

agree, its the drink of the devil! but..... doesn't it taste the best cold, out of a glass bottle????? mmmmmmm

no way!

and d they really use it to clean roads/floors?

Good thing that all that gets drunk in this house is milk, water and gin then;)

Oh yes - definiettly ice cold (but no ice in it - dilutes it too much), straight from the fridge and yes, glass bottle

OMG, you're joking? Coke in a bottle???? Beggars belief.

I'm currently sipping Dr Pepper

DS laughs when bottles "sss" as they open (and goes "sss" when he sees one!), but has never had any Coke.

Pruni, I am glad that you are not judgemental about things like this. Parenting's hard enough without people judging you for giving your baby Coke...!

Mind you, did read in the Radio Times about a mother who admitted that her 10-year-old had been smoking since he was FOUR. Did I judge her? No, she's obviously got a good reason and parenting's hard enough without...oh, feck it, of course I did - bloody awful mother!

I remember talking to a local mum whose child recognised Pepsi cans and really liked the taste of Pepsi, having been given some by his dad. He was around 9 months.

And his favourite food was mashed potato, spam and baked beans.

oh no, i'm moving off this thread. there's a can of coke in the kitchen cupboard and its started calling my name!

Saw a woman feeding a baby, probably aged between 6 and 9 months, a Mc Flurry the other day - not my idea of a nutritional weaning food lol.

btw flat coke is good for tummy upsets !
