Baby eating McDonalds - would you say anything?

[bellablue]

i hope you enjoyed it.... i cannot stand their breakfasts, but double cheese burgers, humm i could eat my body weight in them easily!!!!!

TBH I hate them too but my OH insisted. My boy only had a few bites of a muffin (he had his greek yogurt & oatmeal at home before we left) but who knows, maybe some woman will come on here and start insulting me for serving big macs, I mean who knows the diff right? LOL My boy is on the 99th percentile so I guess they would assume that too.

BRB off to put coffee in his bottle for when he wakes in his nap... don't worry it's just a McLatte

lol lol

I think that the OP should be aware that pregnant ladies read this forum and now I really really want a McDonalds!

ive just text OH saying we're having mcds tonight, or burger king, i don't care hahaha!

just replying to the OP. The baby is 20 months old a few chips will not harm them. Aidan sometimes has Mc Donalds but I ask for no salt on his chips (just because my local one puts LOADS of salt on). As long as a child isn't being given it reguarly I mean more than once a week, I dont see the problem. x

i get the fruit bags for jake instead of the chips. then he just has a few of ours if he's grabbing for them.

Sick of these kind of threads, it's stupid, it's burger and chips, she's not feeding the child cyanide! Arf has chips from there and from those pizza hut express places in the shopping centres, he's not bothered about the chicken nuggets but I've offered it before, a burger even once. I don't think you should say anything because if someone said it to me frankly I'd likely tell them to pee off and mind their own bloody business. These threads are ridiculous.

Agreed. Liv had her first happy meal the other night because everybody thought someone else was making dinner so it was pretty late when we realized nobody was making dinner. So McDonald's it was.

Liv's 14 months and for the most part has always eaten healthy. I made homemade organic food for a long time when she was on the jars, and my mom cooks with all natural and organic foods, so I see no harm in the occasional treat. Liv loves cheese puffs and every now and then I let her have them for a snack. She eats healthy all day, every day, it's not going to kill her if she has something that actually tastes good for once, even if it's not the healthiest thing in the world. (I love my organic food, but most of the snacks are rank! )

Honestly, I was kinda choked up when she had her first happy meal. She looked like such a big girl playing with the toy and ignoring her nuggets.

Croc-o-dile I cant belive she is 1 already!! x

25 pages of replies. Wow. I think OP probably gets the message by now

 

[cherryglitter]

jake too ignores chicken nuggets most of the time!

Just to point out the baby didn't die from salt poisoning from ready brek, it actually has a low salt content. It died because it was fed adult food at 3 months old and the overall salt content of it's diet, which included mashed potatoes and gravy, was too high.

I was wondering cause I know some moms that do BLW that feed ready brek, but that's at like 8 months.

I know! I can't either. She's already got that toddler attitude as well.

Thanks, was just gonna say that ready brek is just oats, and definitely not salty (unless you accidentally added salt thinking it was sugar one morning...)

havent read all the way through way to long

brooke has had the odd mcdonalds when i order it i ask with chips but with no salt and she has fish fingers as i said its the odd time but it wont do her any harm.

No, there are wrong ways to parent (beating or other abuse) but there is no RIGHT way to parent & you may not agree with it but she isn't hurting her child so you should mind your own business.

That's so sad Even so if the baby died from mash and gravy and the like, weekly McDonalds can't be doing much good. Does no-one else see weekly as regularly?! I wouldn't even have McDonalds myself weekly. Still not saying it would be my place to pull someone up on it (unless it was a very close friend or relative, and then I'd say it lightheartedly) but it's just definitely not something I'd do myself.

I think its too much also. I know my body would reject a mcdonalds once a week.

The gravy thing..... when my LO was 3, my MIL was baby sitting and cooked a roast dinner....she had asked me about gravy and I said it was fine for her to have a small amount on the beef.

That night LO was violently violently sick. When I questioned MIL, turns out she had given her a cup of the gravy to drink! Because "she was enjoying it so much".

Can you believe that!!??
