First, let me state for the record, that it is Suburban Mommy’s hand you see holding the bottle. I would never let a baby drink beer. I was, however, the one holding the camera. Does that make me an accomplice?
It started when Thing 3 put his fingers in the bottle, then put his fingers in his mouth. Note the look of wonderment, surprise, and joy, as if to say This is way different from my usual bottle.
From there, he decided he wanted the whole bottle, so he could get a real taste.
Finally, here’s the look after getting a taste. Judging from the strong grip he kept on the bottle, he liked it. And after a few more of these, he took an unbelievable nap!

Thank God, I thought I was th only one doing this What surprises me, and tells me most parents seem to have lost their IQ, is how upset people are over this. My 4-year old son tasted beer and wine years ago and kind of like it( not any longer though). I find the best way of getting my kids interested in something is saying “No!” for a very long time.
Does anyone seriously believe there is damage to a child because of tasting 11 drops of wine or beer? I doubt we’re turning them into alcoholics by doing this.
What beer is that anyway?

Absolutely, reverse psychology works. Let them try it and they’ll never want again.
The beer is Saranac. He has good taste.
