Giving chocolate to babies – is it okay?
Te recent National Chocolate Week once again raised the question of giving chocolate to little ones. Here, Julia Wolman, nutritionist at Babymoov, provides some valuable advice… Te sugar issue - Current weaning advice
recommends that you avoid giving sugary foods such as chocolate to babies during their first year. Not only are sugary foods harmful to tiny teeth, they can also be quite filling for tiny tummies and, if given between meals, could reduce your baby’s appetite for - and acceptance of - nutritious foods during the

important weaning period. No food is forbidden - From twelve
months, toddler diets typically start to include more sugary foods, for example, at birthday parties. Occasional exposure to chocolate and other treat foods fom one year is fine, as long as your little one doesn’t get used to it as a part of their everyday diet. Preferable to sweets - If you had to
choose between sweets or chocolate for your baby, chocolate would be a better choice since it contains some milk and therefore provides a little calcium. Darker chocolate also
contains some iron, an important micro- nutrient for young children. Sweets on the other hand offer nothing but sugar and, if in contact with the teeth for a long time (as with lollies or chewy sweets), could contribute to tooth decay. Never as a reward - If you do give your
baby or toddler chocolate, it should not be as a reward for good behaviour. Foods given as a reward can be perceived as having a higher value than other foods. Instead, give chocolate as part of a dessert alongside other healthier foods such as fuit or yoghurt.
