How often does your child get
juice? Aadi gets it once a day, no more than 4 ounces.
dessert? With dinner almost every day. I try and stick to fruit but I gave him poundcake once, nutella on wheat bread today and a part of a cupcake twice.

Re: How often does your child get
He's never had juice.
Dessert..if you count fruit, then pretty much always for lunch (at DCP) and maybe like 75% of the time for dinner. Other desserts, very rarely and I don't really give him his own dessert, it would be a piece of mine - he's had a couple bites of cookie before and a couple bites of cake.
Juice - maybe once or twice a week. 2oz water, 2oz apple juice mixture. He gets it with lunch -- some weeks not at all.
Desert - never. If he finishes his lunch or dinner but still seems hungry I will give him some fresh fruit. He gets a yogurt every night before bed and fruit for snack in the morning and the afternoon -- I see no reasone for dessert, more sugar.
If I'm eating some icecream or cake I will let him taste as I eat - I have no problem with him having some. But I will not give him a pc of cake on his tray.
Georgia gets diluted juice (about 50:50) only in the morning when she wakes up....the rest of the day she gets water.
As for dessert....I'd say next-to-never. She does get the occasional cookie, or marshmallow (she LOVES them!) because I also has a 5 yr old who is VERY serious about her "treats"...but no more than once or twice a week for DD#2.
She gets fruit with almost every meal, but I don't count that as dessert LOL

I give DS juice (pause for gasp!) He only gets about 2 ounces really watered down. So about 2 ounces of juice with 6 ounces of water and he drinks about 24 ounces like that everyday. So tops he's getting 6oz of juice total everyday.
Dessert? he eats a bite if we have something sweet we share with him but i don't seek out to give him cookies, cake, etc
Juice--occasionally. I was much stricter with my DD, but DS has had it a handfull of times.
Dessert--rarely. (though DD gets it pretty much every night).
T never gets juice.
He gets ice cream every few days-- June is dairy month and we did promotions all over the place, so he got lots of treats
DD has only had juice once(we were at a birthday party) and she didn't really like it.
DD gets fruit as part of her breakfast and snack every day. Today, she had 1/2 a banana this morning and I cut up some honeydew melon for her snack. She's only had dessert if we go to parties and it's only a few bites. DH and I aren't big dessert people, so it's not a habit for us to have it every day anyways.
I put a splash of juice into her water most of the time. I havent given her straight juice..i know its ok to do but for some reason I havent done it yet!
She'll take a sip from our cups once in awhile but she's never had a whole cup of her own before.
Desserts is usually fruit..she LOVES fruit but I've given her ice pops, a bite of cupcake or a piece of a cookie once in awhile but she doesnt seem too interested in any of it. Definaltely doesnt take after me!
DS eats fruit with almost every meal but I don't consider it a "dessert."
We give him watered down juice a couple of times week (usually at dinner time) but only if he's been having pooping issues. Otherwise, it's milk and water only.
A few times a week we'll allow him to have a cookie for dessert (Nilla wafers, he loves them).
juice -- rarely. i dont drink it, so we usually dontt have it in the house. inlaws will give him a bit, not suree if they water it down or anything.
desserts -- rarely. we dont regularly have dessert. he can taste whateveer we have, but i make sure he eats as much as he will of supper first. if we are out, i dont have a problem giving him a cookie/muffin/etc, he doesnt eeat the whole thingg, just a feww bites.
This is us too. DS has never had juice, and I want to hold off as long as possible. He may get fruit after dinner, but never sweets, unless it's the VERY occasional bite of mine.
I haven't given DS any juice yet.
The closest thing to dessert he's had are animal and graham crackers.

DD has juice once in a while. I try to make 1 part juice to 4 parts water, so it's pretty watered down. But most of the time we give milk with meals. We have a hard enough time getting her to take down enough milk so I don't really present juice as an option very often.
We normally don't have dessert at home but I will share some with DD if we're in a situation where we do have it, like a party or something.
Juice - never mostly because we are just having a really hard time getting her to drink milk already at meals and in general so if she is going to be drinking something I want it to be water or milk.
Dessert - probably 2 times a week max. She got her first real dessert over Father's Day weekend when we all went to Baskin Robin's and she got a kids cup of ice cream. Normally it's maybe a half a cookie or graham crackers or something. She gets fruit everyday so I wouldnt really count it as dessert since it's usually a main part of her meals.
Juice - I give her 1/4 juice 3/4 water a couple of times a week.
Dessert - usually only on special occasions. She had birthday cake and ice cream at a party over the weekend. Occasionally she'll get a cookie. I will probably let her have ice cream on the 4th of July. I don't consider fruit to be a dessert. It's healthy and good for her, and she eats it with almost every meal.
Juice - occasionally - 1-3x a week. 1 sippy mixed with water.
dessert- when weare eating it. Cake twice this weekend, but we usually do not have dessert on a daily basis.
juice- only when she's backed up then i'll give an ounce of prune juice with water
dessert- i don't consider fruit a dessert so maybe a couple times a week i'll give her some cookies with her milk (she has milk and a snack before bed).

DD gets diluted juice every day. We have major constipation issues.
She rarely gets dessert though she often eats fruit as a snack or part of her meal.
I used to never give him juice, but then when we went to the Dr. she told me to give it to him at least once a day to help get his poop to not be as hard. Since doing that it's been helping. I told her I always thought juice was bad, and she said not at all and that it's really good for keeping them regular.... I get the lower sugar stuff, or water it down though.
I gave him prune juice for the first time a few weeks ago after she suggested it...I didn't know how potent that stuff was....he drank a small sippy of it and an hour later had a major explosion all over himself, our recliner, and me. LOL! The poor kid didn't know what happened...he just laid on the couch the rest of the night with a look of confusion on his face.
this. his water has a drop of Mots for Tots White Grape to flavor it since he won't drink it without a little flavor. his sweets will consist of fresh fruit or fruit cups in juice or a few animal cookies. he doesn't eat cake, ice cream or anything. he's just not interested
"Wearing his BING CROSBY clothes and crooning...buuuh buuh buuuh"
This exactly. We give her juice a lot, but it is always a 1:3 ratio of juice to water. She rarely has desserts unless I'm eating it, then she steals bites from me. Juice is NOT a big problem unless you abuse it. We also only buy 100% juice.
Juice? Maybe once a month.
Dessert? Well, we give something "sweet" like applesauce, yogurt, or pudding after lunch and dinner almost daily.
He gets juice about 3 times a week. 4 oz of apple juice watered down.
He does not get dessert. He has had a few bites of dessert here & there (a couple bites of cupcake at a birthday party, etc.). I don't consider fruit a dessert, it's a staple in our families diet. He gets it daily.
juice: i'd say almost daily. it's very, very diluted though. when i fill up his straw sippy i'd say it's about 15% juice and 85% water (then sometimes when i refill it i won't even add more juice to it).
dessert: like never. i think he has had a cookie crumb here or there. on his 1st b-day he got a cupcake i made him. oh, and we went to his cousin's b-day party and e had a little cake (no frosting). if he finishes a meal and i want to give him something i'll give him a graham cracker or some ritz crackers.
watered down juice, daily 6oz he drinks 2-5oz normally (its 2oz juice, 4oz water)
dessert, well for dinner we have meat, grain, veggie, fruit and dairy we don't eat dessert in this house. If its the weekend and we're doing s'mores he'll have a couple bites, if we're out or at a party he'll have sweets/cake

They have never had juice, just water and milk.
The have fruit or yogurt with every meal so tha It's their 'dessert' normally. I will share my dessert with them if I have it (cake, cookie, ice cream...) which is about once a week.
she gets actual juice less than 1x per day. Sometimes we'll give her one of those Fruitables juice boxes.
I do, though, give her one sipply of diluted pedialyte every day ... which I just noticed yesterday is full of dextrose, so it's no better than juice.
But she usually gets about 16 oz of whole milk every day, so i don't feel so bad if she has one sippy of a fruity/sweet drink.
Dessert: I don't count fruit as a dessert because he does have it throughout the day with meals and as a snack. He has had a cookie and a taste of our ice cream but it is rare (maybe once a week if that.)

He does get animal crackers after dinner most days and daycare occasionally has popsicles.
If we are counting fresh fruit then he eats that twice a day usually.
He gets something like cake, pie about twice a month icecream a few times. cookies all the time. We have juice often but he seems to like my diluted cystal light
