    I was at a BBQ a few weeks ago and they had adults only rum balls - so I didn't have any.

    If I am happy for DD to have something then I figure it's ok for me being pregnant - and to be honest I'm not feeling hard done by if I have nothing lol. I'll be happy to be able to stomach Christmas dinner at this rate!!

    I would let DD have a rum ball if she wanted one - I used to be able to have some when I was little (and I turned out fine, I think lol), I doubt she would like it very much though lol.

    I hadnt thought about it until now

    However someone bought to my attention yesterday, that lemon, lime and bitters has alchohol in it, and that is the only soft drink I can keep down. So a guess a couple of rum balls wont hurt

    BTW : I never add rum to rum balls or alchohol to trifle

    Lemon lime and bitters is likely to be the same alcoholic ratio as rum balls - prob less. The bottle of bitters is approx 50% alcohol and there dislike a couple of drop s in the glass. It is safe to drink

    yep will be having rum balls, i dont go much on trifle usually, that soggy cake texture doesnt do much for me, but for some strange reason i have wanted trifle for a week now, so i dare say i will be having some. i dont believe the amount in xmas food matters too much, i know when i make rum balls 2tbs rum between 50 balls doesnt seem to mean much. i made mini puddings the other day, dd and dsd have eaten 1 or 2 each. if you are concerned you can always ask if its rum essence as i know a lot of people make them that way now, and pretend your concerned for your dd eating them.
    Whatever you're comfortable with, go with it.
