Learning to share can be a tricky thing for little kids, especially when it comes to their siblings. Whether it's a beloved toy or a special treat, young children usually want their favorite things all to themselves. Sometimes, though, kids have surprisingly generous impulses!
In a hilarious video posted on June 23, a mom who couldn't find her 14-month-old daughter finds the little girl in a pop-up play tunnel, where she's having a blast all by herself. Why? It seems her 5-year-old brother hooked her up with a big bowl of ice cream, and she is relishing every bite!

"Her face at the end says it all, these kids can't be trusted man," wrote @happylittle_home . At least her big brother was trying to do something nice! He could have just helped himself to a bowl of ice cream (and maybe he did that, too, but at least he made sure his little sister had her own dessert). Plus, when it comes to treats, there are worse things for little ones to have than ice cream.

When Can Babies Have Ice Cream?
While ice cream does have some protein and calcium, it still has lots of sugar, so moderation is key. Either way, you'll probably want to wait until your baby's first birthday to give them their first scoop , according to Fatherly.
"Although in some cases 6 months is safe, waiting until 12 months is ideal, says Lauren Crosby, M.D., a pediatrician at La Peer Pediatrics in Beverly Hills, California. 'Though it may not be dangerous for your baby to have a little taste of ice cream once she is 6 months old and above, there are some potential problems,' Crosby says. 'Ice cream could contain ingredients that are dangerous for infants like honey or some potential allergens, for example.'"
It's true — ice cream often contains ingredients like nuts (and, obviously, dairy), so it's best to make sure a certain flavor is safe for your little one before they try it. Watch out for choking hazards, too, as many foods get hard when they're frozen. Vanilla is usually a safe bet to start with, not only because it's relatively plain but because it doesn't stain clothes as much as chocolate or some other flavors (and you can probably expect your tot to make a bit of a mess!).
One thing's for sure...once your baby knows what ice cream is like, there's no going back!
