Feeding juice to your baby

One of my most popular articles I’ve written is about feeding juice to your baby. Since my own children were babies, I’ve been very careful not to give them juice too often.

I was reminded of that this morning when my son asked me for some water even though we have juice in the fridge. When I got up to fill up his cup, he jumped around yelling “Water, water, water”. He was excited about drinking water!

I use juice for two reasons when it comes to my kids. I either give it to them as a treat (but I always dilute it with water) or I give them juice when they’re sick.

So far, my plan has worked. They regularly request water even when there is juice or pop (soda) around and I never have problems getting them to eat.
