[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will just get worse the older your kids get. They'll be sneaking them candy bars and whatnot.  [/quote]

Honestly though isn't this what grand parents and aunts are supposed to do.  Spoil their grand-kids and nieces/nephews...

WTF is wrong with ice cream(frozen milk)   mashed potates(isn't baby food soft)
baby powder (as long as they are putting clouds of powder around the kid)

I am a grandmother and would never go against my son or DIL's wishes.  But I would internally roll my eyes. I raised five healthy children without any problem.  A little ice cream or mashed potatoes is not going to hurt a four month old. At four months my kids were eating cereal, fruit, eggs, and vegetables. The baby powder might concern me more. I would just ask her to put it on her own hands before putting on the baby.

But again, I do exactly what my son and DIL ask because they are the parents.  [/quote]

Here's the thing, even if OP is uptight for not feeding a baby those foods, it sounds like the mashed potatoes were her DS's first solids.  For me, feeding DD her first solid food was a milestone moment.  We took pictures etc.  It would make me really sad if someone else fed her first let alone (1) not when I wanted her to be fed, (2) not *what* I wanted her to be fed, and (3) then laughed at me.[/quote]
