1 year old and jelly and cake

[LoveYouForeverMyBaby]

Planning dd's upcoming 1st birthday...is (sugar free) jelly okay? Also is a couple of bites of birthday cake okay? Or far too much sugar?

Thank you.

It's her birthday!!!! Hurrah!!! Yummy treats sounds perfect. Because they are treats! DC had a lovely time at his birthday. Nana's buttercream icing was particularly yummy. Enjoy yourself. And make sure you have a treat too

Really really do not worry. IMO cake is excellent weaning food because it's soft and can't be readily choked on!!

DS wasn't keen on eating the jelly but did poke it a bit

Or you could make a cake without sugar (eg banana cake) and still eat it all happily give it to your DC

DS crammed an entire slice of birthday cake and icing into his mouth on his first birthday. He was spectacularly sick later but it didn't seem to bother him. And what's a party without someone vomiting?

It is ok to give babies things with sugar in, they won't melt

Normal jelly made with sugar is surely much better than sugar-free jelly full of aspartame anyway.

Thank you all....she's my pfb so I worry about doing the right thing by her. sam what is aspartame??

Artificial sweetner that is in "sugar free" products.

Jelly is fun and chances are very little will actually get into her mouth!
