My daughter started drinking coffee at like 2. Now its just a couple sips and mainly cream too but sounds to me like that’s a nice treat. Minimalize the coffee intake but I wouldn’t be worried about her drinking a little

Love my morning coffee with grams memories. We still drink coffee together now. I have graduated to black from my sweet milky coffee
My daughter is three. My mom has coffee with her in the morning. She takes bread and dips it in coffee barely and gives it to her. She will even let her take a couple sips. I’m ok with it. It’s not a big deal

Yes, but I know a whole lot of people that give their children a weak coffee, it helps calm them, especially kids with ADHD.
There are worse things.

Argentina most kids drink cafe con leche daily
I have amazing memories of watered down coffee with my grandparents at their farm.
How about giving other choices? Bringing chocolate milk or hot chocolate, something special for grandmas house. I wouldn’t be okay with coffee😅
In Germany kids drink kinder coffee it’s just warm milk with a little coffee in it. Don’t hurt because it’s something special for her and her grandma.

My son is super a.d.d so before we go somewhere that I need him to act decent at I usually give him coffee it’s a great alternative to medicine 
I don’t see any issue with it
Also I’ve always heard people say that it stunts growth but I have been drinking coffee since I was little and I’m 5”10

I wouldn’t allow it and know my mum wouldn’t give my kids coffee. She makes them hot chocolates when she makes her coffee.
I don’t drink it so that’s easy too.
But couldn’t care less of parents give their coffee 
Ask her to use decaffeinated its not even real coffee with milk… then your not ruining that special bond they have.

Sorry but I read the first sentence and didn’t continue. But to answer that, NO kids are balls of energy why add to it
Coffee with Nana??? Are you serious? Let your child live a little. Someday when her Nana is gone, atleast she will have memories. I dont think coffee is going to kill her. Question do you feed your child Mc Donald’s? Do they eat ketchup with ANYTHING? Research how much sugar is in ketchup. If it was a daily thing, MAYBE I MIGHT see a concern. But for crying out loud!!! Stop being a helicopter parent and let your child enjoy their Nana time!!! Dont you dare keep her from her Nana. Trust me, you will regret that.

When my son was small he wanted to drink coffee. His pediatrician who was one of the best pediatricians in Oak Ridge Tennessee said it would be fine to give him a little coffee , some milk in with it and sugar he said the caffeine acts different in children than it does in adults, calms them down instead of hyping them up. the same is true with ritalin between adults and children it works different on adults than it does with children.

My dad used to let me dip my toast in his coffee. Good memories there.
Really? You would take away her weekend memory making with Nana because of this? It’s not like she’s drinking a pot of coffee every morning. Try to think back to whatever little guilty pleasure your grandma let you have that your mom never would. Then think how you would have felt if your mom took it away. Leave that baby and her Nana alone.

Please let your child have that special time with her grandma! Let her have the coffee, let her have all the sugar and fat in the creamer! You know why? Those special moments with grandma are going to someday be precious memories she’ll carry with her the rest of her life.

my son is 3 and takes some sips of my coffee from time to time, however it’s not a whole cup. something else she can do other than doing mostly creamer is the tiniest bit of coffee with the rest being milk.

Suggest replacing the creamer portion with milk! I loved coffee as a kid and still do. I also shared with my nana. It would make me calm rather than hyper since I had adhd I guess. But a little coffee wouldn’t hurt.
Mom use to give us on occasion what she called coffee milk. 98% dairy with small bit of sugar. Yeah leave Grammy alone,after all she raised you right?

My 3 year old has been drinking coffee with her grandpa since she was 1.5 years
When I spent the night with my grandparents they would give me a little coffee with a lot of milk. I would dip buttered toast cut into 4 strips into it. I felt so grown! A little coffee once a week did not harm me but it did give me fond memories of my time with my grandparents.

Wait what? Your child’s grandma has a beautiful sweet moment with your child and you are upset? Do you realise how many children do not have those moments and wish for them? Do you realise how many children do not have older relatives that they can share these kinds of moments with? If you are more worried about a bit of creamer and willing to start a debate or argument over it then you are really really ungrateful that you have a grandma or parent willing to be there for your child and create wonderful memories with them. Seriously.

Honestly she’s your kid so it’s your rules. If you’re not comfortable with her having coffee then that’s a conversation you need to have with her grandma who then needs to respect your choices for your child. There’s plenty of alternatives she could give her instead, the coffee isn’t making the experience.

I was given coffee at the age of 3. No problems giving my kids coffee ( only one still drinks it with me)
My parents allowed us to have coffee. I have drank coffee my entire life. I am 82 yrs old and it is the only liquid that I will not give up. I am diabetic and lactose tolerant. No sugar or artificial sweeteners. So my liquid is purified water and black coffee. I see no harm in children drinking weak coffee. Does the same child drink cola or sweetened beverages. They do more harm in my opinion.

Drinking a tiny amount of coffee with my granny as a little kid and having a morning chat is one of my dearest memories. Now I love to see my little one doing that with my mom. The occasional sip of coffee even with creamer won’t hurt. She’s not doing it every day.

I think you should give up a bit of the iron grip on your child. Making them focus on calories, etc creates eating disorders later in life. Let the poor kid enjoy her grandmother time!

Ask her to maybe do warm chocolate milk or some kind of caffeine free tea with milk instead.
I respect the whole your kid, your decision. Tell Nana to please stop if that is important to you but also explain to your kid why grandma won’t be giving coffee anymore.
On personal opinion, it aint that big of a deal. The amount of sugar in creamer is less than that of juice. She is also getting quality time with her grandma.
A glass of juice would be worse! Let them enjoy.

Omg my grandma used to give me a cup of tea in the morning. It was probably 2 dips if the teabag.
Shes probably being a responsible grandma like so many others who love and look after their grandchildren and only puts maybe 3 granules of coffee. Calm down, grandparents are more than capable of keeping their grandchildren alive.

If I were you I would ask your mom to maybe give her decaf? I don’t think it’s the worst thing in the world but don’t think caffeine is the greatest for a 5 year old anyway. If it is just a little bit I wouldn’t worry too much tho. Don’t let her stop seeing her grandmother over that.
Chill out!! It’s barely any ask her to use milk they Love this special time with her!! My little miss trinks hot cocoa with me

My great grandma used to give me coffee too - just a splash in a cup full of milk, not creamer. Either ask your mom to do that instead or not at all. Why is it either coffee or no time with her grandma? Just talk to her.

Maybe she could have tea or no caffeine but my mom used to give my daughter coffee sometimes .
My grandson likes to drink “coffee” with his cereal in the mornings with me.
His “coffee” is hot coco in his own special coffee cup.
Maybe ask her to do this for her instead.

Get a grip woman. Most people my age (DOB 12/12/1959) were given coffee from toddlerhood. With alot of milk and not much coffee.
We were exposed to much worse.
Things like a War in Southeast Asia, a Presidential Assassination and let’s not forget Watergate .
We not are only for the most part ok but we are your Grandparents who raised your parents. They turned out OK. We do have some concerns about the generation they raised. .
You might also remember when you forbid something you make it more attractive.

Children have absolutely no need to b drinking or eating anything caffeinated!!! Haven’t ya ever heard? It stunts your growth! She’s no where near fully developed anyway possible. I was always given a little tea as young. Which is still caffeinated.
