CP: Do you give juice regularly? (It's too slow here today)

Just wondering if how many give juice regularly. No flames or judging going on from me. I haven't given Avery juice yet because she seems fine with milk and water. Plus the one time I gave her a sip of mine (apple juice) she made this awful face. But I am sure she will have it at some point.

  • He's had pear juice maybe twice for a little bit of constipation but other than that, he's never had juice.  It's just not something that we keep in the house and he's perfectly happy with milk and water.

  • If DS hasn't drank much water for the day...usually when we're out and about or people are over... I'll add a very small amount to his water... Then he sucks it down.

    We don't keep it in the house either, mainly because we don't drink it. Not even orange or apple juice.

    That's a great idea. Avery drinks a good bit of water everyday. But if she doesn't I might have to use this trick.

  • We've tried to give him diluted juice for constipation and he wanted nothing to do with it.  I'm sure that will change eventually but we are certainly not encouraging him to drink it in the meantime.  No real reason when he loves his milk and water.

  • We don't have juice at home, but I don't protest if grandma or someone else gives her some. The babysitter used to give it to her occasionally as well, I let it go because I thought letting her have a treat at day care would help her learn to look forward to it! She loves plain water and milk though.
  • Never. Didn't want her to know it exists. She loves her water.

  • She's maybe had a sip or two of juice, but that's it. We don't have it in the house ever. She loves water so I see no need to offer juice yet.

  • He has had juice maybe 2 times.  He drinks a ton of water and eats enough fruit for a small army in day so I just don't see why we would introduce it right now.

    Exactly us too. I'd like to hold off on sweetened and caffeinated beverages as long as possible. I know too many people who never drank water as kids and as growns up think water is 'gross'. H included in that. His family never drinks water, ever!
  • She gets one serving of two ounces in a ten ounce cup that I fill with water everyday. We have found it helps keep her regular with her milk and banana intake.

  • We do but not every day. Twice maybe 3 times a week. We add water to it so itslike1/2 water half juice and she really likes it. She also drinks plenty of water so I am not worried about her growing up and not wanting to drink water.

  • Never, except maybe a sip out of a friend's cup? I'm not morally opposed to it or anything, she just seems happy enough with water/milk so I haven't bothered (and we don't drink it, so there's not any in the house. She'll probably be begging for soda before juice since we drink that!)

  • She has never had juice.. I've read that studies show that most fruits and veggies contain antioxidants in the skin and peels and it's best to eat the whole fruit instead of drinking just the juice.

  • No, we have never given LO juice, much for the same reasons people already listed: he likes water, we don't keep it in the house, etc.  MIL thinks that we are BSC not to give him juice.  I am sure that he will get ample amounts when he goes to visit the grandparents with out mom and dad.  :-)

  • I've only given Ty juice twice.  I diluted it and he didn't seem to like it.  And, he's perfectly fine with milk and water!
  • Dd loves water! So I havent even tried juice. If she wouldn't drink water I'm sure I'd try it to make sure she stays hydrated but I've been lucky.
  • I tried giving him juice when he was sick and he didn't like it.  I never liked juice as a kid either. Luckily V loves milk and water.  He really likes decaf iced tea too Embarrassed but I don't give it to him in a sippy.  He gets to take sips from my glass.

  • We give DS juice most days. We put 1-2oz juice + 8-9oz water in his sippy. He'll drink water by itself too but he's had lots of problems with constipation in the last 3 months so we've been pushing to get him to drink as much as possible and juice helps with that. Usually the juice we give him is prune juice or white grape juice. I don't really think a few ounces of juice is flameworthy, especially if it encourages him to drink more water overall.
