CPW: Sweets for LO

[Deleted]

He gets the cookie flavored Goldfish maybe two times a week as a snack, chocolate milk 1x per week (we stop for coffee after church Sunday and he gets that), and then maybe 1 other time.

[HazyGrey]

Hardly ever. Just if we are at a party or something where she sees it so ill give her a few bites.

[annapunkalunka]

C gets a munchkin from Dunkin anytime I go. Is it bad that it's gotten to the point where she sees the Dunkin logo and asks for "chokick nonut"?

[vk]

DS doesn't really like sweets. I made him chocolate chip waffles and he did not care for them. He will try a bite of something and then not want it anymore.

I am pretty sure he was switched at birth.

[peachesncream]

She will ask for a bite when we are eating sweets but we don't that often. Maybe 1-2 times a week.

[Chrisse]

Rarely. We don't keep a ton in the house, so it is more if we are out at a party or something similar.

[puffandstuff]

I say 3-4 times a week. If DD#1 asks for a special treat I usually offer it to DD#2 as well.

He is severely allergic to dairy (butter, milk, etc.) so I would have to make it and I am lazy.

The closest we get is frozen banana with peanut butter and unsweetened cocoa powder all blended up into "iced cream"

[Courtniko]

Almost never. She has had a few bites of ice cream, and got hold of a chocolate chip cookie once.

Oreos have no dairy.

You might have just changed DS's life

Not that often, he will have a bite or two of my sweets if he notices I have it.

That sounds pretty delicious!

Depends on what "counts." I made the mistake of buying animal crackers at BJs so he's obsessed with them and we have enough to feed a small army. He probably has them at least 5 days a week. He also has Annie's cookie bunnies 2-3 times a week.

If we're talking cake, ice cream, candy, brownies, cookies...then maybe twice a month? If we're having it or we are at a party, I share. My mom gives him little treats when we visit. TBH, DH and I eat ice cream a lot after he goes to bed.

First time he had ice cream, he cried hysterically when it was all gone. It was adorable! He loves it.

[bobloblaw]

Maybe once a day- after dinner he will get one "cookie" they are usually the Annie's bunny grahams or the arrowroot cookies.

Some nights he doesn't want it or doesn't ask and we don't push.

He unfortunately gets birthday cupcakes at daycare and now can ask for "cupcake". I try to keep those kinds of sweets at a minimum.

[starrynight14]

It would depend on what's considered a sweet. He rarely has regular cookies, cake, ice cream and that sort of thing. His version of sweets are those dried fruit snacks or toddler cookies that are usually fortified.

[aaemommy]

I didn't vote because it really depends on what's going on. He always gets some sort of treat when he goes to grandma's lol. At home, we rarely give him sweets. I never buy "dessert" and rarely make it. When we do have it at home it's because we brought leftovers from a family gathering or someone gives us something. Right now we have a big bag of cookies my grandparents brought up over the weekend. Usually when we do have something he'll get it a few times until it's gone, then he doesn't get anything else until someone gives us something again lol.

This usually doesn't happen more than once every month or two.

I don't like banana but I have to say that with the peanut butter it is delicious!  

[gratefulgirl]

More than I'd like because PT-ing DD1 involves treats. Probably 3-4 times a week. I'd aim for more like once every 2 weeks ideally.

[redhorizon343]

I said "Nothing" and then changed it to "only on special occasions" because she had ice cream on her birthday last year, and a cupcake at her party. She doesn't need the sweets, she doesn't know what they are, and I'm trying to keep her in the dark about that as long as possible.

We got to the coffee shop once a week and she gets applesauce bread or banana bread. Those are close as she gets to treats.

[gahorseygal]

Too much. Definitely once a day. DC is bad about giving them treats. And so is my H. I had such high aspirations of my child being a healthy eater. HA!

[otepoti]

Most days and he has more easter chocolate than I do.

Does he have a treat at tea time? When will he start drinking tea? Am I just throwing out random English stereotypes?!

Yes at Nursery he has a treat at tea time, at home it varies . I started having tea to drink at 5 but went off it when I fell pregnant with Max and still feel sick at the smell But that said he will have to start on tea early too because otherwise he will miss out on so much.

This is us too. DD got much less sweets at this age since we could eat them after bedtime. Now she knows and requests whatever we have in the house and I feel bad leaving him out.

Too cute! I lived in London for a few months and I observed that tea time was more "serious" then I thought. Everyone really stops what they are doing to have some tea and a treat.

I wouldn't worry about him getting tea early on. My ILs say they put cafe con leche in bottles and DH turned out pretty well. At least you're not bottle feeding espresso!

[sweetpies]

DS stays with my parents during the day, and against the wishes of my mom and I, my Dad loves to share his treats with him.
