  • We don't give juice either. We do milk, water, and an occasional coke at a party as a treat.

  • We only give milk and water.  We've used juice in the past when she was constipated in small amounts.
  • Milk and water until she was 2... I only gave juice if we went to a restaurant or something, and I didn't want to pack milk out of fear I would forget about it... and I only do about 1 part juice 8 parts water.  Now that she is 2, she gets juice for one meal a day if she doesn't want milk.  For snacks she gets water, or if she is just thirsty.

  • we do milk, water, juice that is watered down, and now we do koolaid but I don't put much sugar in it.

  • I tried watered down juice, but my son won't drink it - HA!  So it's just milk and water for us - and the occasional pedialyte when he's gets an all too familiar stomach bug :(

  • On a daily basis she drinks milk and water.

    Sometimes she'll drink unsweetened iced tea from daddy and she's tried other things when we're at parties etc...

  • Mostly water or juice. They are VERY prone to constipation, so we've decreased milk to once/day, until they get on a more regular pooping schedule. The juice helps w/constipation too (they usually get prune or grape juice)
  • milk, juice, water and unsweetend iced tea sometimes.
  • I give milk and water mostly and occasionally Pediasure.  I almost never give juice.

  • Milk, water and juice mainly.  Chris gets constipated from milk so the juice helps to even it out a bit.  Jonathan and Matthew are older and has had a few sips of my soda.  I also make fruit smoothies for the boys.  I use frozen fruit, vanilla yogurt and OJ.
