Chocolate

My 3yr old has tried it he didn't want it and threw on the floor 🤣🤣

The advice is not to give it to them until they are 2 years old

I always go by everything in moderation. So I don’t recall exactly when I gave it to him but was def before a year.

My son tried chocolate probably around 18 months and I can’t even let him see chocolate or he FREAKS out cause he’s obsessed 😭 no chocolate for him only special occasion

The amount of caffeine is very small, as long as the total amount is low it should be fine. I gave my 1 year old a chocolate chip pancake last week.

The amount of caffeine is minimal just avoid dark chocolate and probably don’t give it at bed time

I let my LG have her first taste on Christmas Day (around 19m). She had a pot of mini buttons that was 58g and they’re about the size of chocolate chips, I’d say she’s still got about 1/3 of them left, as I give her a small handful after lunch or dinner on some days as a treat. I’ve started adding cocoa powder to some of her muffins/biscuits/pancakes to mix it up a little though ^_^ Agree that unless it’s higher cocoa % milk or dark chocolate or you’re giving them loads/everyday the caffeine content is unlikely to cause any issues. Otherwise it’s when you’re happy for them to try it.

After a year. Everything in moderation ☺️

Both of mine have had chocolate from 6 months 🤷🏼‍♀️ we don’t restrict any foods.

I'd let my baby try a tiny amount now (she's 8 months) but she's allergic to dairy so she can't bless her

My LO had some at about 16 months or so (dark chocolate). For Christmas, I got her a whole pack of little chocolates that you hang on the tree. She’s eaten most of them across the end of December, month of Jan. She has about one a week (roughly). I also save chocolate for “special” occasions. My LO is allergic to eggs. Last weekend we went to a birthday party and when everyone was having cake, she had two little squares of Kinder.

My little girl has just tried some milkybar buttons at nearly 9 months. It will definitely not be a regular thing but I don’t see the harm in a tiny amount every now and again

2+

I didn't give my kid any chocolate till a year old, and he only gets tiny nibbles at a time. He might get something the size of a chocolate chip as a rare treat, usually a nibble of something we have. We've kept it mostly to dark chocolate to reduce excessive sugar, and that's what we prefer and keep around the house anyways so it works
