NHS says "children aged 4 to 6 should have no more than 19g of free sugars a day". A juice box is 10 grams.

A goody bag with one individual packet of goldfish and one individual packet of rice Krispy treats.

My kid has a dairy and egg allergy. Both of those things would have her in the ER

I had a kid with milk bottle cavities I was keeping under control with careful brushing and I would have been very irritated to find out my kid got pumped full of sugar at daycare.

Do you go to birthday parties that are not at daycare? Like on the weekend?

I bring a toothbrush and xylitol gel. I do not let sugar sit on his teeth for hours. He had cavities before two and I was able to avoid general anesthesia by stopping the progression of the cavities until he was old enough to hold still for the dentist.

Kids are getting way too much sugar and they definitely don't need extra sugar from randos at daycare.

Well, milk bottle cavities come from letting your kid fall asleep with a bottle, which is super dangerous. So now I can't bring candy or sweets to celebrate a birthday (which is super duper common when you have kids in a group setting) because you made poor parenting choices as a new mother?

It was from hippy breast feeding until age 2, and no, you don't get to pump sugar into other people's kids. What an entitled @ss you are.

P.S. Check out the latest childhood obesity stats.

Well clearly hippy breastfeeding was a poor parenting choice if you had to then follow him around with a toothbrush every time a grain of sugar touched him.

And yeah, your kid is in group childcare and you give up some control, which may include him getting sugar and treats more than you would give him. If you unclench for a minute you will know that him having a cookie or Rice Krispie treat at an occasional daycare celebration is not going to scar him for life.

We are not planning to outside birthday party, but we will bring every kids in her class a goodie bag, cupcakes and maybe some food (still debating). Daycare does pizza every Fridays, so it is not special for us to bring pizza. DD is not a big fan of pizza these days. She loves junk food, and I don't think parents at daycare want them to eat fries and burger or chicken nuggets etc. I don't want anh judgements from other parents, so we may just skip food.

Any nice idea for goodie bags other than candies/chocolate?

They eat pizza every Friday? The other parents aren't worried about junk food then. Bring Happy Meals.

I would just send in cupcakes.
It’s not a party so your kid is not getting presents, no need to do goody bags.

Goodie bags are typically useless pieces of plastic that get tossed when we get home. Unnecessary.

Our preschool is big in goodie bags. The ones we've loved are: beenie babies, sheet of glitter stickers, and board books. Each if these were far more loved than Oriental trading company plastic junk that you play with once.

Juice boxes and Abe’s muffins for birthdays are pretty common in DD’s school. They are nut/milk/egg/soy free. We have at least two egg allergies and a milk allergy in her class so cupcakes are not ideal.
