My 6 mo is sent with 15 ounces of breast milk. He drinks that along with one serving of oatmeal cereal in the morning. Today, he was given jarred carrots when I have strictly told them countless of times that I want to hold off on introducing such solids. I know this was done by accident but I cant help but feel really upset over this.
How would you handle this situation? |

| Honestly - get over it. It won't hurt him. You can say again to please not feed him solids, but really not a big deal. |

| If it was an accident, I'd let it go. If they had purposely gone behind your back, that would be a bigger issue. |

Remind them again at drop off that you do not want him eating solids.
And review the feeding policy (mine started getting finger foods in the crawlers room at 9 months), make sure I was OK with it, and look for alternate care arrangements if I was not. |

Totally. She probably needs all organic. All home made. All whatever. He ate it, he probably wants more. Now you too can give him purées at home. |

| If you can name one good, logical reason as to why it is an issue that your baby was fed puréed carrots, I'll side with you OP. Do you have a family history of anaphylactic reactions to carrots? |

Is jarred baby food as harmful as formula?

Maybe OP feels disappointed that her baby experienced his/her first tastes of solid food -- a milestone -- without her? I can certainly sympathize with that feeling. |

It might be! OP there is really nothing to handle unless you're going to remove him from their care. Remind them again and then let it go. It was one serving/meal.. it won't have done anything to him. |

Why are you so deliberately depriving your child? Weird, OP.
Lighten up. |

| I get the not following instructions bit, but what, exactly, is your objection to "such food?" |

Then stay your ass home and tend to your own baby.
This clutching is silly. |

| If I needed that level of control (which I don't necessarily find unreasonable) I switch to a nanny or stay at home. |
