Birthday Cake

GenbotGenbot
in November 2011 Moms
We are having LO's first birthday party this weekend, though his actual birthday is not until 11/27.  Can LO eat some of his birthday cake?  I am clueless as to what the rules are for giving your child sweets/sugary stuff before one year old...he just doesn't eat any of that type of stuff right now.  Thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

    I haven't let DD eat cake because I want her first cake experience to be on her birthday! So, yes, I am letting her eat (well, play with and if she eats some, okay) her cake.

    I think this is a personal choice, but we're from the everything in moderation camp. She's had sugar already and will most def have some of her cake. Others prefer to limit/not allow unhealthy types of foods, I've heard some moms who plan to bake a special healthyish cake, so to each is own!! The only thing I can think of is to make sure no honey is in it. Enjoy the party :

    I've been allowing little bits of cake at the birthday parties we go to for a while now. It doesn't seem to have any effect on her.

    ETA: Personally, I think it would just be wrong to have a cake for someone for their birthday and not let them eat it.

    Well she has had some sweets but for her birthday I am going to make a yellow cake with applesauce and bananas.  Instead of the oil and eggs.  It will make it a little bit "healthier".  She loves sweets so I know she will go crazy eating it so I want to limit the sugar.

    I'm making DD a sugar free pumpkin/sweet potato/applesauce cake for her bday so I wont worry about how much she'll eat.

    Eh it's his bday I will let him have cake. It's not like he is going to eat that much anyway. Besides I am pretty strict about what he eats so it's not like he will be having cake or sweets often anyway. One day isn't going to make it brake him

    Birthdays are special, so DS will get cake! I haven't decided if I will make it or if we will order it from a bakery. Either way, it will be full on sugar goodness. insert mobile site smiley face here

    I agree with pp. One day of sugar isn't gonna harm LO.LO.
