When is chocolate safe for a baby?

[forevared]

I've got it in my head that it's at 1 year. I want to make a hedgehog cake for ds's 1st birthday soon but don't know whether he can actually have any!

It depends if it's your first or your third!

What do you mean by 'safe'?

of course he can have some

Well, in my opinion at the time it wasn't safe for dd until she turned 3!

4 years later, ds had his first chocolate at 9 months when he found a malteeser under the table at a party.

Neither of them appear to have suffered any ill effects!

Around about easter time, but not before weaning. Its just food not poison.

What paolosgirl said.

Or in my case, depends if it's your first or your second.

zanz1bar lol at "around about easter time"

I'd heard that it was a year also.
My DDs had cholcoate for the first time on their 1st birthdays.

Pre-birth onwards IMO. Avoid Postman Pat cakes though (do they still make them?) icing makes a hideous mess of nappies.....

i remember asking my hv around 9 months if it was ok for him to have a little bit of choc now he was happily eating 3 meals a day

She acted like I had suggested putting Glass in his sandpit

Other mothers assured me hv was barking and he would be fine and he was
