Sausage rolls for 10.5 month old?

Hi

We've avoided all pork products so far with dd. She was given sausage rolls yesterday at childcare although I had specified no pork products (not for religious reasons just salt levels!)

When is pork 'allowed'?!

Also getting wary of different breads being given, is burgen ok?

Erm, at that age, sausage rolls are totally unnecessary imho, since they will mostly try what's put in front of them. Sounds like laziness to me. I don't think there's anything wrong with pork pe se, just highly processed foods like sausage rolls have added salt (and a lot more besides). What kind of childcare is it?

agree with 2sugars.. sausage roll is not a good lunch at this age, due to salt content for such a young child

no way should child care be giving this to a 10 month old. As others have said, too much salt, laziness, and also you specifically asked them not to give her this!

But pure pork itself isn't a problem. Just the processed stuff that's a problem.

Hahaha just do a search for sausage rolls and a can of worms will open before your very eyes.

I don't think it's a problem giving a 10 month the odd sausage roll
What I would worry about is a nursery giving a sausage roll unless it was made on the premises

It's a childminder and it was part of a bigger picnic lunch at the farm. To be fair on the whole the food she gives is good, organic and a nice range.

I will mention again about no pork products and salt levels. Rules change and I think CM hasn't had a lo for a while so is a bit behind on guidelines.

Hard for me to find balance between being a neurotic working mother feeling guitly about leaving her lo in childcare and then looking at the bigger picture and all the positive things she gets out of childcare.

If it was a one off, and most food is organic and good, then I would probably let it go.
