1 at her first birthday party.

6 months! We practice baby lead weening

her first time was her birthday i think, one year

I gave my kids some off my finger at 5 months (just the ā€œjuiceā€ of it as it melted)

My baby had a little at around 10 months, her 3 year old sister gave it to her. Now shes 11 months and if anybody has icecream she will cry if they dont give her a little.

Pretty much right away

6 mo with all 4 of my kids and none of them have a milk allergy same with penutbutter

1 as far as letting them eat a little bitch not much at all like maybe 1/4 of a cup or couple tbsps but i let my 8 month old have one or 2 bites

7-8 months I think :blush:

He had tastes here and there since he started food, but I gave him his first kid size ice cream cone at 1 yr :joy:

7 months. I couldnā€™t resist that little face :joy: he loves it

Sheā€™s had a taste or two here and there since 6 months, but I probably wonā€™t allow more than that until a year old

My son was still a baby when papa gave him his first taste of a chocolate ice cream bar

Tiny taste on her 1st birthday.

Probably somewhere between a year and 15 months. Looking back, I regret it and wish I had waited. My kids are all really healthy, but having too much affection for sweets can be bad for you.

9 monthsā€¦only a few bites though.

6 months old he eats everything we eat as long as itā€™s not solid food.

Small licks and tastes around 3 months (I know Iā€™m awfulšŸ™„) but we gave her actual spoon fulls when she reached 6 months and was eating solids

Mamaā€™s sugar is so bad for us. Hold off on sugar if you can. Not good for any of us. Cancer feeds on sugar!!!

On her first birthday, with her birthday cupcake :birthday::heart:

1 for my first born, same rule as cows milk. My second is only 3 months so none for her yet

About 6 months but he likes popsicles more

My son was 6 months and My daughter was 2 months thereā€™s absolutely nothing wrong with it just nothing with nuts and other choking hazzards till they have some good teeth

We have to remember babies should not have salt or sugar until 2 years and ice cream has a lot of sugar. Most of the sleeping problems comes from sugar.

Kiddingā€¦
But around 6 months a little taste . Nothing crazy.
At 2 my son loves ice cream now but itā€™s a rare treat

My son will be 13 months on the second and heā€™s currently sharing his daddies ice cream with him. Lol.

Mine is 13 months and has always hated icecream. She hates the coldness

5 almost 6 months. He gets a taste of ours but its also just vanilla.

I waited till they were 1 for candy and ice cream(anything sweet). My 3 yo doesnā€™t like any sweets, my 6yo loves ice cream.

I find it funny how all these mamas are acting like ice cream is just the worst thing ever you could give your baby. Iā€™m not sure of the exact age mine did but they all had it pretty early just little bits at a time. I have 5 and they are all perfectly healthy and fine and had ice cream thier whole lives.

Like a year old or about 11months

First child 2yrs old 2nd and 3rd child 1yr

Shes a year old. I give her some but not all the time. Helped her gums when she teethed too

They were pretty young for just a small taste. Like 7 months? Eating a scoop? Probably 2.

5 months. My husband likes to sneak him a quick lick or 2.

Around 6 months when they started table foods. Not like a whole serving cuz holy sugar (I value what sleep I do get lol) but my littlest will be 6 months soon and she will get to taste some ice cream :slight_smile:

My son hates ice-cream. Heā€™s 2 in October. He rather eat yogurt. Not frozen yogurt, he hates that too.

2 years old vanilla ice cream. I tried to keep sweets to a minimum.

6 months but I didnā€™t do it, my daughters pain in the butt Aunt Bre gave it to her for the first time :joy::joy::joy:

About 5/6 months. My mom would sneak ice cream to them and I would as well every now and than. However my kids ate so much table food at 6 months.

I let my kid try it at 3ish months. As long as your not feeding them a bowl i dont think a taste is gonna hurt them.

All I craved was DQ icecream the whole time. But she was almost 2 years old.

A little bit at first birthday

1 for my now 3 year old. We let my almost 8 month old have a little taste every once in a blue moon. My 3 year old doesnt really eat ice cream too often even. Maybe once a month. Heā€™d rather have fresh fruit for dessert.

We did baby led weening and ate all normal solid foods by around 7 months. We didnā€™t give her ice cream or anything regularly but every once in a while we would let her try something like that.

3 months but only a :tongue::joy:

3mths for 1st 6 or 8mths for my 2nd

I treated ice cream like milk. Waited till the first year.

7.5 months. Chocolate ice cream.

Iā€™m probably going to get comments but 5 months old :joy: not much though lol just a little on her lip.

All my kids probably around 4 months old. But just a couple licks. They didnt get their own serving until 11-12 months

I let my son try it at 7 months. I let him eat a little bit now at 16 months

My son was 3. We keep him off milk till 2. As Iā€™m lactose intolerant and my mom is completely allergic to milk.

A month after she was born

I think she was about 9 months old for her first bite of ice cream. Just plain vanilla.
