Hazelnut spread

Hi guys. Need your opinions. Is it bad to give hazelnut spread with bread to a 4 year old every morning ?

I'd say no. But I tend to have a side of fruit too

How much sugar is in it? Nutella is hazelnut spread but like half or more of the jar is composed ofsugar

I wouldn't. It's full of sugar.

So is alot of treats and breakfast bars, granola bars etc .that we give our kids. It's not alot if u give a very thin scrap of it on the bread

I give my 21 month old very thinly spread Nutella on her toast maybe once or twice a month and my 11 year olds are only allowed sugary breakfasts on weekends. Otherwise they have toast with butter or multigrain cheerios. I think every day is a bit much

You can always try to make your own! Tiktok might have some cool ideas that way you can monitor ingredients/ sugar content

@Lizete I believe it’s 8% sugar

I don't think so because I think there's lots of variables so I don't want to blanket say something is bad but then you have a picky eater who won't eat anything else and fed is better than starving with a plate of salad. Or maybe it's the most affordable or maybe you're in a rush. Maybe ita what they asked for and your teaching them to be able to ask for things. Who am I to say it's "bad" or "good" To me I'd try some days other things or something else on the plate because eventually if you forget to buy some or something or it's sold out you don't want to be in a position where they won't eat anything else for breakfast and your stuck.

@Amelia thanks so I have been giving it to her every morning in a sandwich she is a very picky Eater but my husband thinks we should stop giving her sugar also doctor said limit to every other day but my husband wants us to stop completely

Maybe not every morning. Only bc I know sometimes I want Nutella every morning but then some days I get sick of it. It's honestly what you and bubs are comfortable eating. Fed is best. In fact we are on a high fat diet with our kiddo rn and they suggest foods such as that to get more fat in her It's actually surprising what "bad" foods the hospital suggests when on a high fat diet

I feel like if you just abruptly stop you might have tantrums and a power struggle / more pickiness. You might want to gradually lower it while involving her in making another thing along side it that gets increased

@Parveen I’ve never given it to mine

@Amelia you’re smart

@Lizete neither have I

It is a lot of sugar for a little person, but it's so hard to get kids to eat sometimes and they really do need to eat! I see that your husband wants it to stop immediately (question, will he take responsibility for finding an alternative and dealing with any fall out tantrums?) This is a change where food chaining might help you slowly transition her to something different.

@Jen i give my daughter actual food

Lizete that's good ..so do I

Consider the grams of sugar in the spread, as well as the grams of sugar in all other snacks/meals you feed throughout the day including condiments like ketchup/bbq sauce keeping in mind that the recommended limit is less than 25 grams per day and make your own educated decision based on that.

I have to leave this group ppl r rlly giving their kids ketchup and a hundred different sugar items in a day

U actually kidding... everything your kid eats has sugar in it even all that organic stuff too and homemade treats .. u will have alot of sugar .u can't get away from it.

Woah Woah! The thing that is more important than what sugar content is in which foods and who is giving their kids what, is that there is a mom who is reaching out and asking people for help. We have no idea what kinds of challenges, picky eating, or budgets other moms are working with. Shaming helps no one.

@Maja yes. Lots of people. Your not nice. I don’t have an ego

@Maja I’m not entitled. Yes i dont have friends good job rubbing it in, you’re just projecting your own shit

@Maja your not wishing me a good day, this sarcasm doesn’t look good on you. Have a bad day 👍

@Lizete I’m sorry people hurt you but it doesn’t mean you should perpetuate that cycle. And comments like “I never do this” and “I’m leaving this group because” come from “my opinion is very important” and “everyone needs to know my thoughts” and that stems from ego. We are here to help and support one another not put people down is all I’m saying..

@Maja your not sorry. I’m not perpetuating a cycle, you’re wrong

@Maja no my opinion is not very important, i don’t care about anything you saying it’s all meaningless

@Maja nope. All wrong.

@Maja yes what I’m saying is support, it isn’t putting people down. These posts are all discourae, parents will be told theyre wrong because thats the point. You arent appreciated

@Lizete I don't see where anyone said they were giving a hundred sugar items a day. I'm wondering if you're discussing something the original poster wasn't or taking it a direction she wasn't asking about?

@Lizete I think the point I was trying to make was lost in translation which was. We shouldn’t judge each other because no one has walked a day in each others shoes. If we don’t have anything nice to say, we should say anything at all or wish ill on other people. I choose to take the high road so I’m going to end this conversation. And don’t be so hard on yourself I’m sure there are plenty of people that consider you a friend and who you’ve impacted in a meaningful way. And honestly I truly wish you a good day!

@Amelia i do. No I’m not.

@Maja no it wasnt. I understand your point and i dont agree with it at all.

@Maja yes judgement is necessary in society otherwise people would do whatever they want to do

@Maja i don’t have to walk a day in others shoes to know what’s good for them to do

@Maja you’re the one that’s saying things that aren’t nice. I’m not. When did i wish ill on other people? You’re not making any sense. When was i hard on myself what is wrong with you???? I was just stating facts. I very much do not like what you’re saying

No i don’t have friends

I don't know that every morning is a great idea, but doesn't sound like you need to or should cut it out completely as your partner has suggested either. I would say go with the Dr's advice and do every other day or a little less🙂

If you use Nutella (not sure about other brands), of course the sugar content could be of concern if eaten every day. The third ingredient is palm oil, which is high in saturated fat. This has been shown to increase unhealthy cholesterol in the body over time, thus leading to health issues. As much as I love Nutella we use it in moderation and more of a treat 🥲 We use almond butter and cashew butter and of course PB. I like cashew butter because it is sooo good for developing brains! As for anyone in the comments judging this mama, we are all doing our best. She is asking a question in hopes of some insight, not to be attacked. Let’s work together and help eachother out. ❤️
