I honestly can't believe how many times on this board I have read that an EBF baby has been given cereal or frosting or worse by a grandparent. I simply do not understand the obsession.
My parents were playing with my nieces when my niece asked for M&Ms. My brother (niece's dad) said no. My dad gave it to her anyway right in front of my brother. I looked at my brother to see what he would do and he said, "Grandparents are supposed to spoil the grandkids!" What a freaking unicorn. I said to my dad, "Enjoy that with the girls because when my son is born, that won't happen after I say no". My dad got a mischievous look on his face and said, "Well, we will just have to do it when you're not around". Even though I had never been on DWIL yet, I said, "Then I guess you won't be spending any time around him!"
Now my son is born and my parents have not stepped a toe out of line. He's still pretty new though so I'm keeping a close eye on things. I told my husband we have to be vigilant about this feeding crap, because it is common for people want to sneak food to babies. He seems like he doesn't believe me and I would love to have a thread of feeding incidents to share with him. Not to mention, the llamas are hungry. Babies don't need M&Ms but llamas need drama- they're STAARVING!
