My baby has been bought a lot of chocolate (mainly white chocolate) over Easter and we’ve had to tell a lot of people he isn’t allowed it yet. We were planning on doing no sugar until at least 1, potentially 18/24months, but it seems like this isn’t the expectation, particularly from older generations? What is everyone else doing?

No refined and limited added sugars until over 2. I don't mind a small taste like a lick of an ice lolly but definitely no chocolate or sweets or juices

Eat it yourself. That's my plan 😂

It's personal preference, some parents won't give any until their child is 2 or older, some once their child is 9months+, but in small limited amounts. I'm only on about white chocolate though. My little one is 9 months and on easter sunday she had a small amount she enjoyed it, since then, turns her nose up at it so not bothering until after her birthday on the 1st july x

Depends on what it is. My little on has only started to like fruit and will only eat it if is pure but will happily eat meat/ toast by himself, my little one also doesnt like chocolate, hes had a very small amount just to give him a taste but its not something we do often

My little girl also got a lot. I let her taste a small amount of a kinder bunny and that was it. I'm eating the rest 🤣 x

My littlest (9 months) got some but he won't have it. My eldest is 2 and I'm only just starting to allow juices and some chocolate etc. He just doesn't need it yet.
