DS2 will be getting one of those small easter eggs. He has already had chocolate (thanks to a very sharing big brother) so isn't a huge deal to me. I wouldn't bother, except that my DD has been very insistant that the easter bunny would bring him eggs.
FWIW - babies definitely don't need chocolate (I just personally don't think it is the end of the world if they do have a tiny amount, but I'm pretty laid back). As for kinder surprise being 'better' what a load of codswallop! It contains just as much sugar and other crap as any other chocolate. I think those women are trying to make themselves feel better about their decision by deluding themselves.

SIL gave him tins of baby custard instead which was a good idea. He's 22 months now and I probably wont be allowing chocolate this year either from the rellies. There will be plenty of more Easters when he's older that he can eat chocolate. I think he's too little now.
oops but it doesnt bother him hes never had any sort of reaction but this was after he had tried milk (cereal) and cheese i didnt realise there were so many ppl who did give their kids chocolate but i know my mum didnt give us chocolate or lollies at all only at birthdays and special occasions until she met my stepdad who is like a lolly junkie and my neice runs to him everytime they are there and he gives her lollies not something i want DS to be like
I can't imagine children would even no what Easter is or that they are missing out on chocolate until they are at least 2, so why give them all that extra sugar, you as parents are the ones who will have to deal with a difficult child on a sugar high if you start feeding them chocolate and lollies iykwim. That doesn't mean to say 'never' give them chocolate but it does mean why go out of your way to feed it to them when they wouldn't have a clue what easter is anyway.
