Stacey Solomon forced to issue warning over baby snacks as fans spot big danger
STACEY Solomon was forced to address fan ‘choking hazard’ concerns after she shared a baby snack idea.
The crafty mum is already getting ready for Halloween with a homemade ‘Skeleton on a stick’ treat made from marshmallow and pretzels.
She shared a video of Rose deep in concentration as she decorated the spooky snack.
“So simple and easy but Rose loved making it. It’s just white chocolate pretzels & mini marshmallows on a stick and then a big marshmallow fo the head,” she wrote, sharing a photo of the finished treat.”
However, despite the well-meaning video, Stacey was met with criticism from followers.
Holding a crying baby Belle in her arms, with a car alarm sounding in the background, Stacey said: “A few of you have messaged me and said some younger children can’t chew big marshmallows properly so they can be dangerous.
“So I just wanted to say, if you don’t think your little one can handle big marshmallows then don’t give it to them.”
She gave alternative suggestions, before adding: “I’ve always given mine big marshmallows which is probably really wrong but I didn’t know they were a risk or hazard.
“I’ve always toasted them on the fire and things like that, but things happen and things change all the time.”
“The carnage in this video – the kids, the car alarm, this is after-school reality,” she wrote on the story.
The TV star recently revealed that she had no plans for any more children.
The 33-year-old is mum to Zachary, 15, Leighton, 10, Rex, four, 23-month-old Rose and six-month-old Belle.
The former Loose Women panellist is also step-mum to Harry, 16, through her marriage to EastEnders star Joe Swash.
Her eldest children are from previous relationships, while her younger three are with Joe.
Speaking to the Mirror Stacey candidly discussed how she and Joe struggle to find time for romance in their life due to their many children.
She said: “I think me and Joe are in our non-romantic era. It is important just to get time for us, but we’re at that stage in our life where that’s not really possible
“We recently went to a friend’s wedding and had a night together, which was really lovely, but outside of that it’s once or twice a year that happens.”
She also revealed that she and Joe don’t want any more children, she continued: “We don’t want any more – we cannot cope with it.
“Yeah, we wanted all these kids and we’re so grateful to have them. So we will get romantic… but in 20 years’ time.”
