Babies get high on sugar, myth or fact? I used to think it was a myth ... that is ... till yesterday. Brought nat along to meet a good friend for dinner. We had Japanese steamboat and nat ate heartily, I would if I were her, after all we were having wagyu beef. After that, we went nearby for ice-cream, where nat enjoyed feeding herself.
Her sugar high came almost immediately after we were done with the ice-cream. As usual, with nothing else to entertain her, she struggled to get out of the high chair, so we allowed her to wander around the ice-cream shop. When the rock music in the shop started to play, we were very amused to see her dancing to the music. Initially, I thought it was a spur of the moment thingey, but she continued her dancing for at least 10 minutes. My friend and I sat there looking on, thinking it was really hilarious! Pity I did not manage to catch her dancing on video.
Even after we got home, she was very hyper, running around the house and chuckling away. Mind you, this was about 10pm already. She finally feel asleep after a while but woke up from time to time crying ... sigh ...
My advice: Feeding babies ice-cream is alright once in a while, just don't overdo it and definitely not late at night. Tsk tsk ... the things you gotta learn on the job. Check out the pic below, nat has 2 cups of ice-cream and 2 scoops in her little hands!
