Worst thing someone has tried to feed LO

I'm going to go with Cheesepuffs and brownie.... I mean, do I even need to elaborate? Luckily I caught it before it reached his mouth!

My grandma wanted to give her a sip of her sweetened iced tea. Uh, sugar plus caffeine plus baby equals a pissed off mama!

My parents give DS1 (22m) sweet tea in a sippy cup sometimes when they watch for him. He sees them drinking it, wants a sip, then wants his own. It drives me NUTS. We do only milk or water in our house!

Luckily, DS1 loves water & constantly asks for "ice water"-- I'm trying to keep it that way!!!

My parents have given DD coffee and wine. I'm fighting a losing battle with them when it comes to what my daughter ingests. They're the ones who forced solids on us at 5 months by going and buying rice cereal and purees (without my permission) and feeding them to DD because it would "help her sleep better". DD is almost 8 months and is still getting up 4-6 x/night...

Frosting off a cake before we had even started solids.

Coffee and wine??? Was that a joke?

Dcp told me she would make DD breakfast... Grits and butter. I said umm I don't think so.

*sigh* Let me remind everyone about the grape soda incident at Easter. Lets see what else? MIL gave LO a taste of honey! My stepmom let him taste sweet tea, lemonade & lick a cheese doodle.

These things happened while DH & I were present. This is why my child will only stay with people that I trust to follow our wishes. At home DS only gets formula & water. Granted, we are doing finger foods(he gets some of whatever we are eating for dinner) but I'm not feeding him chips & chocolate cake or anything.

As long as it's cooked it's totes ok!

I remember that one. And there was someone not too long ago who mentioned diet soda as well.

I think the worst would be a whole chip from a Mexican restaurant.. let's see how fast he can choke on those sharp edges! I was right there and took it away.

I'm not real uptight (not saying anyone is!) so I'm actually okay with a lot of what LO has had. He's had ice cream, frosting, chocolate and probably a lot more that other people wouldn't be okay with. Everything he has been given has been in small quality and it's not like he is getting cake on a daily basis (or even weekly!)

My family is really the only ones and my big requests are that there is no soft drinks and no sweet tea. I wouldn't even mind him having a sip of sweet tea but I don't want him to like it too much and think that it is a regular drink.

Maybe this makes me a bad mom, but she's had bites of cake and ice cream and even sucked on a sucker, and it didn't bother me. It's not like I'm giving her these things for every meal, so I don't see what's wrong with a tiny nibble of cake every once in a while.

No one has given him anything "bad" in my opinion. My step-dad did give him a piece of a cracker that was too big and too hard. He choked on it, and I had to slap his back to get it up.

I tried not to freak out but I will soon be taking a baby CPR course. I know I should have done it sooner.

We are bad moms together!

I've given bits of cake and ice cream, but my annoyance with my example was that we hadn't even started solids yet.

Nothing. With DD's allergy and eating issues I would cut anyone who tried!

I totally understand! I would have FREAKED out if someone tried feeding her a snack before we started solids

Nothing. I don't associate with idiots that would feed more than a taste of something to a baby that they shouldn't have and I don't think a taste is going to hurt her.

My cousin gave DS a bite of a cookie while we were waiting at the hospital today. I almost said no, but he never eats that so I let her give him some. I'm just happy that she asked me before doing it.
