i dunno what the 'right' age is, but we're not getting anything for DS this year - well, nothing chocolate anyways. i personally think he's way too young - he'll be 9 months at easter. i figure he has years to enjoy chocolate & easter so no need to eat it now when he won't even remember!

I personally feel the same way - wouldn't even had thought about chocolate until I heard them talking about these eggs.

The first time we gave DD1 any type of chocolate was Easter last year. She was 2.5 yrs old then. I personally wouldn't be giving a child under the age of one any chocolate.

DD first had chocolate at 11.5mths for a birthday cake. I am thinking of getting DD a hollow small egg (you know the ones the size of a normal egg in a carton. DP and I will eat the rest!
As for the kinder egg not sure. To me, chocolate is chocolate. I thought they were just targeted to kids because they have the surprise
ETA- Knowing my DD she wont eat it anyway. For her birthday I put out on her tray some choc cake and some berries and grapes and she just ate the fruit! LOL!

It's a funny thing...I was all worried first time round so DS1 didn't get anything lollie/chocolate like for nearly two years.
DS2 came along and everthing changed as he wanted what DS1 wanted. So he probably started around 11mths.
I am glad I held of for as long as I did first time round, although it hasn't made any difference to either them.

I was considered "cruel" for not giving DS chocolate at his first easter: he is a Feb bub! I am Feb too and was given chocolate for my first easter.
My son is 3 and has never had an easter egg. In my defense, I can't find dairy free chocolate eggs! He'll just have chicken eggs, which he adores, instead.
Kinder eggs taste HORRID. Maybe that's why it's for little ones: so they don't bug you for more of it all the time LMAO.
