Not offering juice yet

We haven't introduced juice yet, he's still happy with his water and he has some coconut water occasionally...I'd say if he's happy drinking water and milk then keep to it. And maybe only offer it when he starts to show an interest in it.

@Sydni yes definitely! He’s more than happy with water 😊

I don’t see the need to introduce juice. Even as an adult I don’t drink it much as so full of sugar as you say bad for your teeth if have too much. I think there will be a time and place when they are older at parties/ friends houses when you can’t avoid it if others have it but definitely don’t plan to give it at home.

There’s no benefit to juice, you’re doing the right thing. We let ours have it for special occasions like at bday parties or dinners out etc but they never have it home

We’re Aug 22, I only recently offered diluted orange juice for the first time and he hated it lol it’s water or milk here as well, he drinks so much water 😅

We’ve offered watered down apple juice and really weak squash mostly when she’s been unwell and off food and occasional ‘treat’ but she doesn’t like it

Just water and milk. I struggle to brush his teeth enough as it is, I don't need to throw juice in the mix to make me worry I'm not getting in all the cracks 😂

I was never given fizzy drinks as a child and I can’t stand them now at 40! Is that a bad thing?! Nope! Milk and water is perfect we are the same.

Just water here too ☺️ she has fruit shoots at parties, or if we’re out for dinner/lunch but this is very rare and she never finishes it 😂 My eldest who’s 5.5yrs old much prefers water!

Still haven’t given him juice. Never saw the point and my husband agrees. Water and milk are best for hydration and he loves whole fruits so why try juice lol

Same here, I only give her water. I would try it if she completely refused water but so far that hasn’t happened. No judgement to mums who’s kids won’t drink water as it’s better than them being dehydrated but even fruit juice is bad for their teeth, especially in bottles with the tops like fruit shoot

Same here, just water and milk. I don’t even offer her juice. There is plenty of time for her to have it later on.

Thank you !! Now I don’t feel like the odd one out 😅

Mine only has milk and water too. He does have a fruit shoot on rare occasions as a treat like 2/3 times a year 😂 x

December 2022 baby and still only has water or breastmilk 😊

We haven't offered juice here yet either. Don't see the need right now

I still don’t give my nearly 4 year old juice! As well as my just 2 year old. He’s had it occasionally at parties ( i don’t say no) but we don’t have it at home or when out for dinner/a meal

Nope, she’s never had juice either! I don’t plan to give it to her anytime soon either. We very rarely drink it ourselves.

Girl keep it up for as long as you can! We are the same. Our sons just on milk and water, that’s all he knows and he loves it.

Thank you!! ☺️ I won’t be introducing it anytime soon

We just do water and milk. She's happy so not going to change any time soon

@Francesca same, I was never allowed any sort of soda when I was a kid, and I cant stand it, the fizziness gives me a headache. Only times I drank coke was when I was sick but couldn’t throw up, then my grandma gave me a couple sips so I could throw up and feel better 🤣

Also only on Milk and water. He's happy enough drinking it and I only really drink water too so no need to change it really

We don’t offer our son juice either. He’s obsessed with water lol. If or when we do, it will be no sugar added juice on special occasions.

@Francesca same here I never drink or buy any fizzy drink and drink juice rarely

My son had freshly squeezed orange juice when we were out in Portugal in the summer (my in-laws live there and his Grandpa would make it for him). He absolutely loved it and still talks about Grandpa’s Oj juice, but I’ve told him that he can only have it in Portugal and he hasn’t questioned that yet 😂
