My nephew is only 4 months old and his mum's stupid sister bought him an advent calendar, and guess what, my SIL is giving him the chocolate every day, before he's even been weaned properly on solids. What a *$%£ idiot she is, it makes me sad. The thing is she is a nursery nurse and should know better, she even gave Harry a full milky bar when he was four months, when she was babysitting and she wasn't even gonna tell me!!

ava's got an advent calendar but she doesn't get the choccies, 4 months is a bit too early though! i'd be fuming with her for giving him a full milky bar.

Harry's got two advent calendars, both Thomas lol both nannas bought him one. He has the chocolate from one and Rob has the choc from the other lol. I don't think a bit of choc hurts, but to give him it before hes even weaned on solids is ridiculous!!

each to their own and all that but not something i would personally do especially befor weaning...id be fuming if someone gave my lo as full chocky bar at that age.
a friend of mine had a vid of her 3month old eating a full milkybar x

Oh my goodness, I could understand if the baby was a little older and weaned and was just having a little suck on the chocolate each day, but not even weaned.....doesnt sound too good xx

Is she not scared of them choking?

thats terrible and very irresponsible

^^^^She sits with him and holds it and sucks on the choc til its all gone lol

Thats awful. H doesnt even have one and hes 19m x

Hannah has an advent calendar and I let her have a little suck on the choc yesterday, she loved it but she wont be getting it everyday coz it's mine really

xx

i bet thomas would have 'shared' with her if you hadnt

You're having a laugh Mari! Thomas does not share chocolate!

xx

hahahaha silly of me!

when we took ava to see santa yesterday he gave her a milky bar, i let her have a suck on the end but she was more interested in the wrapper

Thats a bit OTT isnt it. C had one last year at 8 months and was allowed some of the choc a couple times a week and she has one this year and is allowed her bit of choc every day but never at that age no

caleb is nearly 8m and he has 1. out of the 6 days hes had 1 and he loved it! x

Yeh Katie 8 months isnt that bad, in fact not at all, but my nephew hasn't even been weaned onto solids yet, and he is so small aswell xx

4 months is ridiculous. A taste, a nibble - maybe - but a whole chocolate every day?! Holding it for him?! Not needed, not nutritious and downright daft in my opinion! Why not let him have a spoon of sugar the rest of the year eh, he'll probably like that too I hope his nappies are delightful and he sleeps about 1hr at a time, but chances are slim

Callum was 6months last year and he didnt have one never thought about buying him one to be honest. xx
