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 ).
