I'll probably let DD have a taste of a lollipop (she'll be 17 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122604 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:27:15 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1122604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: that's brilliant!</p> <p>No. They don't really celebrate Halloween here. For instance, I've never seen trick-or-treaters. She's gonna be in costume and sit beside the pumpkins - that's about all she's getting. She'll be 16 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122531 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:15:53 +0000 skibobrown 1122531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll probably let her try a piece or two, but we still pretty much stay away from sweets -- DD is 18 months. We probably won't trick or treat w/ her this year since we'll have just moved to a new city and won't know anyone in the area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122528 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:13:59 +0000 sarac 1122528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We probably won't trick or treat, but if we did, I'd let her have a piece or so a day for a little while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122521 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:08:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1122521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm seriously debating taking my LO trick or treating just so I can eat her candy.<br /> She'll be two months old. Is that considered using my child? Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122484 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 20:44:15 +0000 chopsuey 1122484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, but we're not going trick or treating this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122407 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:45:56 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1122407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year LO was 14 months and he was just so excited to be out I don't think he had anything. When we came home it was straight to bath and bed and by the next morning the candy had "disappeared". This year it might be more complicated but I think he'll probably be satisfied with a lollipop. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122393 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:36:37 +0000 PrincessBaby 1122393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO will only be right around 11 months and even now, we still don't have teeth, so basically no candy for her! My mom let her have a ring pop and a dum dum sucker before (which she loved, obviously) so I'm not saying I'd rule that out for fun on her first Halloween...But we're going to go trick or treating mainly to show off her cuteness in our new neighborhood:) She is going to be the PBK owl:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122385 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:32:06 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1122385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: they say that it's genius :)<br /> @betsyboop: I'll risk their wrath ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122383 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:30:40 +0000 betsyboop 1122383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Hilarious! Although when your girls are a little older and figure out what you did, there might be hell to pay! </p> <p>No candy for our 16 mo LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122377 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:27:00 +0000 Sapphiresun 1122377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have a two month old baby, so obviously not, but growing up my cousins were diabetic, so after trick-or-treating, we'd make a trek to the hospital to hand it out to whatever kids or patients were allowed to have random visitors and candy. No idea if that would even fly today... but we thought it was great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122340 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 18:54:46 +0000 yellowbird 1122340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: haha, do the neighbors say anything about this???</p> <p>She'll be 14 months... so probably not. She'll probably be asleep before trick or treating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122264 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:58:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1122264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will let her have a piece or two that night and then maybe save a few pieces for special occasions after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122262 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:57:28 +0000 yin 1122262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is allergic to milk, eggs, and peanuts, which rules out a lot of yummy candy. Last year at 18 months he didn't know that people were putting candy in his pumpkin. This year at 2.5 years old I'm pretty sure he knows the difference. I'll give him a Trader Joe's lollipop as his reward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122244 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:45:15 +0000 Dandelion 1122244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 6, and actually doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, so he's good at rationing. DH and I end up eating more of his candy than he does, lol. I'll put it in his lunch, give him a piece after dinner, etc.</p> <p>My mom would just let us have our candy. That way, if we eat it all at once, at least it would be gone soon, lol. I was better at rationing than my brothers were. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122243 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:45:11 +0000 yoursilverlining 1122243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E will be 16 months and I would let her have one small piece, but she hates anything chocolate so I doubt she will have any. I'm thinking about putting a couple of her gummi vitamins in a little Halloween mini box and letting her have that "candy"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122242 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:44:42 +0000 Maysprout 1122242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, mommy and daddy will help but she'll get to eat it too, she's 2. It'll probably last for awhile since we'll just do a piece a day but since mommy and daddy also will probably do a piece a day maybe it won't last that long. #2s due date is Halloween so she'll only be getting residual candy through momma's breast milk if she's around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122205 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:18:31 +0000 luckypenny 1122205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll be 18 months. She's had ice cream before but not candy. I'm sure ill let her have a few m&amp;ms or something :) but I'm pregnant so I want all the candy for myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122200 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:11:30 +0000 T-Mom 1122200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are 5 and 2 and I plan to allow them to have a piece of candy (maybe 2 for the 5 yr old) each as long as I check it first for peanuts. After that we will probably save some for special treats and then eat the rest ourselves muhahaha.. J/k I will probably take it to work ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122192 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:06:01 +0000 Running Elley 1122192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He'll be almost 13 months so not this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122189 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:03:53 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1122189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have someone go ahead to each house and give them raisins, nuts and dried fruit to give to our kids.

J is only 19 months so he won't get any. I might not be opposed to letting him have 1-2 pieces but we don't go trick or treating... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122177 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 16:50:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 1122177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She will be almost 13 months and we won't give her any due to cross-contamination issues with candy companies. (no nuts allowed for our LO)</p> <p>edit: I'll take some special "treats" for her so she's not left out.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-going-to-let-your-lo-eat-halloween-candy-this-year#post-1122127 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 16:08:32 +0000 banana 1122127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son can have a few pieces since he's 3 1/2. my daughter is 14 months so none for her yet!
