Re: How would you react/feel if...
Posted by maybeamommy
I want to be the one to give him those first experiences and first tastes... and I just didn't feel that it was the appropriate time when we just spoke to the ped about waiting until 6 months... also I wasn't there and I would have wanted to be there for his "first" - kwim?
This is why I would be upset.
You need to tell that person that YOU want to introduce all foods, YOU want to be the one to see his first reactions to each and every food.
I wouldn't want it any other way 
If you tell them that way, they may understand it.

Re: How would you react/feel if...
i'd be annoyed. especially if those who were watching him know what kind of diet he is on now (breast feeding, maybe starting solids) and did it anyway.

I understand that some people would be livid, and I respect that. I think saying that he should bever be left alone with that person ever again is a little extreme, IMO.
not at all. leaving my child with someone who FLAGRANTLY disregards my desires/feelings is NOT an option, whether it's regarding food, tv, which way to loop the knots in his sneakers....
RESPECT is key to trust and if you can't respect my wishes, you can't stay with my kid.
AGREE 100%!!

Re: How would you react/feel if...
I would be mad. My mother actually did this and she got a lecture from me, lol...she gave her sweet potato a couple of weeks before her 4 month appt. I was actually sitting right there but didn't see it and my brother was like ma what are you doing? When I saw it I made her wipe it out of her mouth...she didn't really eat it she pushed it out but still!
ETA: Who would think that a small baby would like lemon and lime???the fact that they are taping it makes me think that the person thinks your ds is making funny faces eating these things and it is funny to get on tape....which would make me get into a major rage!! that is just wrong!

Re: How would you react/feel if...
i would have been annoyed bc you already told the person once before. but the truth is, if someone else is taking care of your child you have no idea what they are doing/eating during the day. My Inlaws were watching DS and my SIL wound up telling me some of the things they were feeding him 
at least the person told you

Re: How would you react/feel if...
I would nicely ask the person not to do it again and explain why, possible allergy ect. Sometimes people don't realize, rules have changed quite a bit over the years. My Aunt gave my much older cousin oatmeal at two days old at the advice of her pediatrician. Today that may be grounds to call CPS for some..
If the person still did not respect my wishes, I would be livid and they prob would not be left alone with my DC again.

Re: How would you react/feel if...
This happened with my DD when she was 4 months old and was EBF. My DH's step-mom did it and I was PIZZED! I was mad for numerous reasons but most of all because I felt that I should be the first person to introduce new things to MY baby.

Re: How would you react/feel if...
Annoyed only b.c at least in MY case - my ped doesn't start solids on a EBF baby until 6 months and the items you mentioned are high allergic items (citrus isn't generally recommended at least by my ped until 12 months and so are berries - but that varies per ped).

Re: How would you react/feel if...
It wouldn't bother me, but you have every right to be pizzed if you specifically told someone you were not pleased with it, and they went and did it again anyway.

Re: How would you react/feel if...
I wouldn't mind if my family did it. I know when I went back to work and my mom and MIL were watching DD - they would have her try some foods just to taste it before asking me - i was ok with it.

Re: How would you react/feel if...
Wow - you flat out told them not to do it & then they did it again w/THREE different things the next day?!? WTH?!? 
I agree w/the pp's that it was extremely disrespectful & that I wouldn't leave my ds w/this person again. The 1st time was maybe a mistake/done without thinking, but the second time? That would push me over the edge & I'd be pizzzzzzed! That was just an obvious show of defiance to you as Loey's mom 
If it were me personally I would have been really upset the 1st day. I have severe food allergies & have been VERY vigilant on how, when & what my ds is being given & introduced to because I fear his potential reactions. I would not have been so nice the first time around

Re: How would you react/feel if...
I am very laid back about pretty much everything...and then I had DS lol
Im his mommy and I would not have been happy if anyone (I dont care who) gave anything to DS "first"... I want to be there for all of his first. I also think that if anyone wants to give something to DS that he hasn't already had, they should ask.
If I was you I would have also been really upset. Not only did the person give your son something that you didnt want him to have yet, but then he saw that you werent happy about it, but did it again anyway! That fact is a blatant sign of disrespect.

Re: How would you react/feel if...
Wow that would make me beyond upset. It's not even the fact that these foods were introduced (btw strawberries are HIGHLY alergenic fruit most babies will get hives from them) it's also the fact that this person TAPED this! That would send me over the edge...sorry no one tapes my child doing anything w/out me being there.

Re: How would you react/feel if...
I would be livid. I was so PO'ed when I found out my MIL was letting my 4 month old eat ice cream when I wasn't around. It was just a little of her spoon, but seriously I was not cool with it at all..
I agree with Jess, people think it's cute & it's really NOT

Re: How would you react/feel if...
I would be a little pizzed only because I would want to be there to experience it.
I don't understand why people think they have the right to do this.

those items are high on the allergen food list. I didn't give DD Strawberry or Citrus until after she turned 1.
I'm so glad you said this. My mother always told me that but I see berries and citrus in many jarred baby foods. I've always avoided them but was always questioning myself.
For this reason, I'd be angry that somebody gave those things to my infant.
