Overreacting?

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
LO is three months old. Dh's aunt, who is mostly an awesome person but is very pushy, has a history of spoiling all the children in her life. Gives them candy, takes them to lots of movies, etc. Yesterday she mentioned how she had given one of her great nieces, who is the exact same age as LO, a couple little tastes of chocolate frosting! If she tried to do this to LO anytime soon, who has had nothing besides from BM, I feel like I would strongly object. I know it's going to happen sooner than later, so I want to be prepared. My initial thought is that I would tell her no way! But I am curious what others think. I don't want to be overly uptight.

    If you don't want her having a taste, then I agree tell (politely) that you aren't ready to give her any type of food except people food. I think chocolate is one of those things you are supposed to avoid in the first year of life anyways.

    Well at 3 months old, I wouldn't even give her people food.

    I'd make it clear that you and DH are waiting for her to be older to have any food and plan on only fruits and veggies in the beginning.

    My father was drinking V8 fusion while visiting the other day. He dipped his pinky in it and acted like he was going to let LO suck it off. I quickly objected simply by putting my hands over her face, between him and her and he got the idea quick. I really didn't have to say anything, I think the look of horror on my face did the trick for him! But I don't want LO to have anything with sugar in it (other than carrots or natural good stuff) for a year. I'd stand your ground for what you feel is best for your LO!

    This. I'll give DS a taste if I'm eating something mild...chicken noodle soup, mashed potatoes, a cracker, things like that, but never friggin chocolate frosting.

    I would just tell her no. My SO's mom told me to give DS a tbsp of corn syrup to calm his stomach. I just told her no and that was the end of that.

    That is WAY too young! you never know if there is something they could be alergic to in it at that age. You would not be over reacting in my opionion.

    I'd flip out too! It's dangerous for LO that young. If you can't trust her to follow your "instructions" on what to feed LO/when then I wouldn't leave her along with LO. LO's well being is what matters most so who cares if she thinks your overbearing or whatnot for it. I'd absolutely flip out if she tried this!
