BFs sister has 8 month old DS apparently he doesn't like milk from a bottle and won't drink from a sippy cup so on her friends suggestion she buys him Fruit Shoots and he drinks mainly these now! Also my friend was saying his proud father was giving him a rusk at 8 weeks old saying "it says on the box from 4 months onwards but your 8 weeks how clever are you?"

I was so shocked but it kind of reiterates that women listen more to their mums etc than government advice, round here there seems to be the consensus that babies need as much food as possible shoved into them as soon as possible. So many times I have had to stop my mother shovelling buttons or lucozade into DD1.

Have stopped my 3yr old DS having Fruit Shoots at all, he loves them but goes totally loopy after he's had one!

Its just incomprehensible - its so obvious I find it hard to believe anyone could be so dumb

Likewise Cece but my Mum did raise 6 children you know and they are all OK (matter of opinion!!)and, therefore, she must be right

DS only has fruit shoots at parties and he's 5

I hope you said something to your friend
