I did what she did (with milk) with all 5 of my kids, now adults, and nothing is wrong with them… But they have good memories.
Sensory memories are some of the strongest ones humans can form. (The smell of grass, the taste of coffee, the way the air feels sitting on the front porch when you’re five…)
Don’t steal that from your child.
I remember almost nothing of my great-grandmother, who passed away when I was 10 or 12, but I still remember the way the tiny teacups felt in my hands while I had tea with the rest of my family at the kitchen table in her house, and was actually treated like a human, instead of a child.
It’s a special memory she is making with grandma. I’d let it slide. It’s not cocaine! Maybe come up with something that you both can agree on that she can have and still feel special with grandma.
We give our 5 year old a sip now and then. Like no more than a 1/4 cup that is mostly creamer. It makes him feel like his big like mommy and daddy. He doesn’t realize he is only getting like 2 TBS coffee.
Mine always liked to sip it with my grandma in their porcelain tea sets. I buy them cappuccino or decaf and she used decaf. We mix with lots of milk too. I WISH I LIKED COFFEE so I try and let them have what their tastes prefer. 
In appropriate amounts of course. I also got the hot cocoa kcups so I can make my 4 and 3 year old kcups and they see it done the same way as everyone else. But you’re the parent so it’s up to you and don’t let anyone tell you different!!
My toddler is almost 3 and she has a very milky coffee with me in a morning on our doorstep, or on the sofa if weather is bad.
Most creamer has far less sugar then what I’m sure your feeding her. Let her have fun and make memories. One day it will be all she has left!!
For Pete’s sake. Maybe ask your mom to use real cream or to use almond milk or rice milk. None of this is that big a deal in the long run. What IS important is the time she spends with her Nana.
That being said, not my kid, just my opinion.
Grow up. Seriously. No offence but there’s worse things in the world your mum could be feeding your child. Be grateful your mum wants to be around in her life, not every kid is that lucky.
I’m sure she isnt giving her enough coffee to do any harm. Does the creamer really have anymore sugar then if she was eating pancakes and syrup or drinking a coke?
Anything goes at grandma’s house. Why take their moments away…
I mean if you put A LOT of milk in it I don’t think it hurts anything on occasion. I let my son have it. He’s 13 and now likes iced coffee sometimes and he’s perfectly fine.
Please don’t stop her, I would go over my grandma’s and sit at the kitchen table or the patio from age like 6 until about 6 years ago when she, we drank so much coffee I literally put one of the prepacked Duncan Donuts coffee and ended up getting buried with her, I will still go to her gravesite and I will sit then and talk to her while I am drinking coffee, it was my greatest memories with her and I will never ever forget it, pick your battles wisely my friend
In some cultures its normal for kids to have coffee and pastries for breakfast
I wouldn’t allow my kids to drink coffee but however I wouldn’t stress overly to much its precious memories.
My children are 12 & 14 and have never had caffeine. I would maybe just ask your Mom to use decaf coffee instead.
Id prefer milk with a dash of coffee. I prefer no coffee but at grandma’s, anything goes. Sounds pretty cute thou
I dont even let my 11 year old drink coffee.
She can get packets of hot chocolate!
It’s not like she’s drinking and entire cup let her make the memories because those memories is what your daughter will remember the most waking up and sitting on the porch, it’s not going to ruin your daughter especially when it’s only sometimes and not every single day. Don’t take that from them
Oh Jeeze… lol I used to drink “coffee” with my grandma every morning as a child too… a drop of coffee and milk … ask your mother to add milk or almond milk instead of a creamer.
Yeah I’d flip too. Give her milk or even cocoa but not coffee and not creamer.
Once in a while at that age sure. Not everyday
My grandma and grandpa used to mix warm milk with like, a half ounce of coffee so I could sit at the table and have “coffee” with them. It’s one of my fondest memories!! 
me and my grandma and grandpa are very close to this day. And still have coffee together al the time
Girl atleast it isn’t Irish 
let that baby be unless something comes up
My grandma always made me very weak tea and said coffee makes you ugly…lol
Oh hell no! You’re the momma!! Nip that stuff in the bid now! Trust me when I say that not only children will take advantage of manipulation.
Ask her to make her tea instead or just use milk not creamer
My grandpa used to do this but it was mostly milk lol
Coffee settles a kid down believe it or not? but don’t give the kid a whole cup:thinking:
Ask your mom to switch it to decaf for her and use milk instead of creamer
My granddaughter has coffee, three fourths milk, one fourth coffee and a teaspoon of sugar.
The memories will b that, don’t ruin it, life’s to short to micromanage anything
FFS pick your battles. Coffee at 5 is not that bad.

Maybe ask your mom to give your daughter tea instead of coffee. Personally I would be ok with tea but not coffee
She could just do hot chocolate for her at the most. Like come the fuck on coffee or creamer for a child NOOOOO
If it’s an issue, send her to grandmas with hot cocoa packets. That’s what I gave my kiddos when they wanted coffee in the morning with me.
Ewe. Y’all are gross. If mom says no it means no. Y’all acting no better then the “grandparent”
How are people more concerned about the sugar than the caffeine intake? Lol
She can always drink something else like chocolate milk while Nana drinks coffee
Has this woman heard of decaf coffee? It’s a thing
These are very precious memories your mom and daughter are creating.

Not a big deal as an occasional thing.
Really? Cant you just say I’d prefer she have no coffee please and thank you. ?
Can they maybe switch to chamomile tea? 
I gave it to mine and sent him to his dads. He said he got a energy tonite:joy: I bet extra express shot please
Oh good Lord 
Get the stick out of your butt and let her have a good time with her grandma
That’s a sweet memory with Grandma. I would fine.
Calm down and let the girl enjoy a cup of creamer with her grandmother. Damn.
Have her make coffee milk for her instead 
Just ask her to use sugar free creamer…
My child’s 1.5 and has been taking sips of my mom’s coffee for AWHILE now

Decaf and sugar free creamer 
Decaf? Creamer with zero sugar.
My three kids and there great grandmother gives both my 8 & 7 year old coffee they have it every other morning with eggs and toast at first it bothered me but she drinks decaf and uses milk could be worse I say and it’s making memories so even tho it does bother me a bit I do let it slide she won’t be around forever
This is a good unsweetened creamer (vanilla) and do a splash of decaf. Make some memories while being a little bit more mindful of sugar intake.
