Giving solid to a 1 month baby??

Question

Okay i have a question. We were over at my family's yesterday. It was my little cousins bday. We have our little 1 month baby with us. While they were cutting the cake my aunt gets a small piece of frosting and gives it to my baby. We read online this is a old tradition older people do😳😳🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️She is completely fine. But what do i tell my aunt next time? And is this bad?

Answer

I would have gone tf off.

Answer

You tell your aunt to fuck off.
If anyone came and put something of any kind in the mouth of my newborn baby I would hoendtly probably leave and avoid that person for the rest of my life.
Luckily I've never met anyone that rude and that unaware of personal boundaries.
Who the fuck walks up to someone else's newborn baby and out food in their mouth 🤯🤯🤯

Answer

Too young, too much sugar, not enough consent.

Answer

I’d call her and tell a lil white lie and be like “yeah my kid got sick from that. babies can’t digest anything besides breastmilk at this age so I had to let you know so you don’t do that to her or any other newborn again.”

Answer

NOT okay. There are clear reasons why you DONT give solids before 6 months. It’s not all about their swallowing ability, even though that’s an issue. It’s MAINLY bc they have an “open gut.” Their gut is not fully closed into the tube it becomes until 6 months. This means they can get serious infections and develop severe food allergies from exposures that happen before the gut is closed. I would be livid!!!

Answer

It was just awkward too. It was family that we haven't seen in a long time because weve had wierdness in the past🤦🏻‍♀️😳. They invited us so they can see her. Yeah my husband was furious.

Answer

Why did you let her do it in the first place?
You’re mad, but you didn’t stop her?

Answer

Sounds like my in-laws. That’s just so rude and disrespectful. 
Don’t let her near your baby when there’s food around. Your baby may have some gassiness since they can’t digest all the crap that’s in frosting

Answer

Calmly say. No, she's too young to digest that. She'll end up ill.
