I hadn’t realised this post was still going. Just popped in to give an update…

I was thinking about your posts particularly around moderation and for the first time on Xmas Day I let Amy have a small serve of Xmas pudding and home made ice-cream, and I gave her Xmas fruit cake on Boxing Day. She loved it so much and for a few days all she asked for was ‘cake, cake cake’. I was really worried for a while but she has stopped asking for it but now she knows what it is. I suppose to get to 18 months old and not have any sugary food is pretty good but I do fell a bit guilty for lowering my guard but am not going to beat myself up over it.

Fi, about the mineral water, I have heard the flavoured ones have just as much sugar as normal soft drinks but I think soda water is okay, although it tastes horrible!
