the first time DS had chocolate was the icing on his 1st birthday cake. later in the evening it all came back up. not a pretty sight. he has had a few pieces since that my MIL has given him, she has also given him a lolly pop(!) she also gives him icecream but this is the only time he has sweets IMHO he is way too young!
the closest to chocolate my ds has gotten is a couple of licks of my paddle pop and thats it and I don't think i will be buying him an easter egg this year, he is too young and he doesn't know what he is missing out on. He doesn't like stuff like that anyway, he even dry reached at his 1st birthday when we tried to give him a bit of his birthday cake. He would much rather eat some fruit lol.
DD had a tin of heinz choc custard at about 10 months and didn't like it. Her next taste of chocolate was the weekend just gone for her 1st birthday and she got covered in it from cake and a tim tam. Not planning to make a habit of it though...too messy
Jayden has just started eating chocolate chip cookies about 2 weeks ago and he is over 2.5yrs. It would have been longer only he was helping me make them so I couldn't really say he can't have one! He still hasn't had lollies or soft drink....plenty of time for that when he is older. Ashlea will probably eat chocolate younger as it will be hard to say no if her big brother is having it....we'll see when the time comes. As for Easter, Jayden gets presents....easter soft toys, last year he got 2 fish from his cousin....this year we'll let him have some chocolate but he isn't overly fussed by it anyway (fine with me....more for mummy!) Ashlea will get a big plush easter bunny or something.
7 months and nothing yet, but am alreeady having the Easter debate with everyone (including Shel).
"how can you not give chocolaet at easter?!?!?"
... uh, easy, the same way i don't give chocolate any other day! it's not like the other babies will be bragging about all the chocolate they get If she does get any at easter it'll be the tinest amount ansd then I'll do my mummy duties and eat the rest I'm a bit worriedfd as she doesn't have sugar except what she gets from fruit so i don't want her to go off the deep end!!! lol i don't let her have fruit juice or anything else except water, booby, and the fresh food I give her so... not looking forward to what is probably going to be a sugar overload
A friend of mine was giving her bub cheezels and sips of her coke at 5 months so everyone has different ideas of what is ok obviously.
We haven't given Cameron actual chocolate yet...but I did allow him to have some cake and a small piece of fairy bread at a 1 year old birthday party on the weekend - he is 9months old. Cam also had baby chocolate custard on christmas day (almost 7 months old). I will avoid giving him actual chocolate for as long as I can help it, but he will still get tastes of it though other chocolate flavoured products. And instead of a chocolate egg at easter I think I will just give him a jar of chocolate custard again - I will try to use this as the chocolate treat for as long as I can get away with it (more so with DH and the grandparents ).
It's cute seeing bubs faces covered in chocolate lol I think as long as it's not a huge amount or a regular thing who cares.
