    gosh -there's plenty of time for them to enjoy cakes and icecream! I usually make a point of saying "not yet" when people want him to have cake or something. Couple more years and his tummy will be ready, is what I usually say. hehe. Then they know I won't completely deprive the poor child LOL.

    Dp and i have always given our boys healthy food, they do get treats every now and then, but i make sure that 99% of their diet is healthy food.
    Nick goes ferral with too many additives etc so he has to have wholegrain bread and keeping his sugar intake right down, I have a friend who adds sugar and vanilla essence to all of her sons cereals just to get him to eat them :eek:
    My kids much prefer a healthy homecooked meal over anything else, even maccas (it usually gets thrown on the floor on the occasions that i have got it for them)
    I think it's the least we can do as parents to give our kids the best start we can so that they grow up knowing that they can eat whatever they want in moderation
