Jake loves popcorn and finds it hilarious when it pops in the microwave. we give him loads of fruit, but as for sugar-free....hmm

Oh, I'm another forzen pea fiend. I love them. Jake also likes them, and grated cheese in a little pottle. What about, and I'm not sure if this is okay for kids, diabetic jellies? you can make them up in small pottles, and put chunks of fruit in them. I do this for Jake and he loves it so much.]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2006 13:28:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4036&PID=77911&title=sugar-free-snacks#77911 <![CDATA[Sugar Free snacks : when i was little we were never...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4036&PID=77888&title=sugar-free-snacks#77888 Author: ellabellame

when i was little we were never allowed sugary things. for treats we got fruit leather, dried fruit, popcorn (buttered), rice crackers, special cheese (camembert(sp) or brie) or a piece of luncheon or salami.
i can see how annoying it must be for you when people feed him up on sugar, i'd hate it if someone ignored me and fed mikey heaps of junk. good on you for making a stand.]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2006 13:04:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4036&PID=77888&title=sugar-free-snacks#77888 <![CDATA[Sugar Free snacks : I would second all the ideas everyone...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4036&PID=77886&title=sugar-free-snacks#77886 Author: mum2paris

I would second all the ideas everyone else has said - but will also say, that the 'natural confectionary' etc, is just as bad.. no, it doesn't have added sugars - that is because it is made with fruit sugars.. which will do the same thing, they are just as bad.. have a look and see the amount of.. hhm i think it's called fructose, in the natural lollies. They're very sneaky these companies. same with juices that say "no added sugars" if it's fruit juice it has the fruit sugars.. which means it doesn't NEED extra sugar.. they just write that so people will buy it.]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2006 13:04:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4036&PID=77886&title=sugar-free-snacks#77886 <![CDATA[Sugar Free snacks : OMG busymum!!

My in-laws casually ignore my requests to feed Quinn proper food as well... it drives me bonkers!

You can get the sugar free chupa chups... I find them good on occasion for Quinn 'cause he thinks it is so exciting to get a lollipop and they take aaagggges to suck. ]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2006 12:14:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4036&PID=77872&title=sugar-free-snacks#77872 <![CDATA[Sugar Free snacks : I&#039;ve got his daycare onto...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4036&PID=77870&title=sugar-free-snacks#77870 Author: mummy_becks

I've got his daycare onto it as well and thay are def not giving him anything with sugar in at other than fruit. It will take a while to get him used to it but the long run will be so much better. I was suggested by his daycare he may have diabetes. He drinks a hell of a lot of water and it runs in my family. I have though about it but doing to no sugar thing first and see if that will help. I'll get round to a test for diabetes soon but a blood test for a 2 1/2 year old won't be nice.]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2006 12:10:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4036&PID=77870&title=sugar-free-snacks#77870 <![CDATA[Sugar Free snacks : Cheese?

Cheese? My mum used to make cheese and pineapple on toothpicks for our birthday parties and we loved them.

Becks fair enough for your stand. The end result of (quote) "hes only 2 let him have fun" is that he doesn't have fun. Maybe if you tell her its an allergy, rather than just makes him hypo, she might get the idea that you are actually serious? Good luck!

Pop corn is always a good one as he can get involved in making it with her. Lots of language experience there, plus a healthy snack.

Making fruit skewers with marshmellows at the ends. Again lots of fun to make together.]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 18:08:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4036&PID=77721&title=sugar-free-snacks#77721 <![CDATA[Sugar Free snacks : I can sympathise.

I can sympathise. On the few occasions My In-Laws have had Ella during the day they have filled her up on rubbish and the lunches I requested they give her have come home untouched. I understand that it is a grandparent's prerogative to spoil them and I don't mind them giving her a few treats, but they also need to respect our wishes too.

here are some things we give Ella instead of junk;

Honey sandwiches,
Frozen minted peas, (she thinks these are a real treat!)
Mini muesli bars,
Rice wheels (like the mini chippie packets but healthier)

Oh gosh!!! I can't imagine what I'd do if my mum or dad did that... I threw the biggest tanty at my Dad for giving Han one hundreds and thousands biscuit before breakfast.

Dried fruit is another one which I give Han for a treat.

I need some help please. We have made Andrew sugar (apart from natural sugars) free as it is causing him to be very hypo - more than a usual 2 year old. The main reason for this is his gran had him on Sunday and fed him nothing but sugar and though it was funny and it was still in his system on Mondy and spent a bit of time on the naughty cushion as he was jsut so full on at daycare. Lets just say I told her off and told her she ain't having him again if she is going to overload him on sugar all the time. She still thought it was funny he was like that (hes only 2 let him have fun), but when his mother had problems with sugar at a young age and couldn't have it she should just listen to me. But because her children were ok with sugar she thinks he is fine with it to. Hello he has 2 very different parents.

So I need some ideas on sugarfree snacks for him that I can tell the MIL what she should get for him instead of the lollies and chocolate buscuits and icecreams.

So far I have:

  • sugar free lollies (natural confectionary) if she has to give him lollies
  • crackers
  • bread sticks
  • fruit

Any other bright ideas please.
