I think it would be great to have my close to 1yr daughter go to town on a lime wedge and film it. My wife says it's cruel and that I am doing it for my own enjoyment. I will admit that the reaction will probably make me laugh, but so does lots of things she does. I think that she is going to have her first reaction to tart foods anytime, so why not be ready and get it on film? Her mom is not happy with me either, but I honestly don't feel I am doing wrong if I did do it. I think she would love to see what she did when she was older.
What say you? I'm not trying to be a monster. |

It isn't mean, if that is what you are worried about. It isn't like you are feeding her peanuts and video taping it to see if she is allergic.

We did this with orange slices with all three of our kids, and they like looking at these pictures, especially to goof on their sibs. So what if you're doing it for your own enjoyment? Consider it payback for every loaded diaper you've had to change.

| | | | Had it done to me when I was around that age. By all accounts (from my uncles who did it, and my parents who witnessed it) it was hilarious...I'm not opposed to lemons in any way, so there isn't any lasting damage.
I say go for it. |

The reason kids exist is so adults can dress them up in goofy costumes, coax them into ridiculous situations, vex them with confounding information, and give them lime wedges to suck on, all while you preserve it for posterity through the miracle of the digital video cam (or Super 8 film when I was a kid).
Tell your wife I gave you the go-ahead.

The only thing to keep in mind is that the high quantities of citric acid in lemons (and, I'm guessing, in limes) is potentially very bad for tooth enamel (so you might not want your kid developing a lemon or lime-sucking habit  ). |

Either way, it's educational for her palate - I say go for it. She's a big grown up girl at the ripe old age of one. It's not like she's three weeks old.

As long as you're not doing this hopin to win 10 grand on Funny Videos, I see no harm at all. It's certainly not "cruel". I don't even get how that could be considered cruel.

| | Registered User | | | | | I have to admit, I did this same thing but with a lemon slice, I gave my friends daughter a slice when she was just over a year old, 7 years later she still remembered it, but not in a bad way, just to guilt me into being more generous with my dollar I think ; ) Therein lies the educational aspect of citrus lesson : )
