If we go out for dinner he gets chocolate milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360743 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 23:13:19 +0000 autumnlove 2360743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always at birthday parties. Rarely at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360722 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 22:33:56 +0000 Anagram 2360722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started giving it to her sometimes (she's 2 years, 4 months)--well, only apple juice. She suddenly started having issues with constipation and she already doesn't drink milk and started refusing water, too.</p> <p>So now when she hasn't pooped, I give her big cup of apple juice and that usually does the trick. She gets 0 sweets/candy/ice cream, so I'm cool with the juice at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360719 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 22:29:06 +0000 Andrea 2360719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely. They both just really like water. LO1 used to be obsessed with milk, but that's ended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360691 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 22:06:35 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2360691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wouldn't drink juice for so so so long. For about the past 6 months she has some when she wakes up for the day and when she wakes from her nap. I do half water half juice. So she's only drinking about 4 to 6oz a day, depending on the day. I don't personally like juice and if like her to drink less because of her raging sweet tooth ("more raisins?") but I'm okay with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360680 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:57:01 +0000 californiadreams 2360680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: i did forget to mention that we water the juice down too. we didn't always, and then all he wanted was juice all the time. As soon as we started doing half water, half juice, he is fine with his half cup a day and some days he forgets to ask for it. And before he started drinking it, we used to drink our juice out of coffee mugs. It was sometime after he turned 2 that he caught on that those coffee mugs = orange juice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360673 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:53:29 +0000 travelgirl1 2360673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very occasionally, and I water it down if I can. DH makes smoothies for her instead.</p> <p>@californiadreams: I have this conversation with DH all the time, since he drinks juice or soda with dinner. He usually ends up hiding his cup behind things so she can't see but she is onto him :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360657 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:45:18 +0000 youboots 2360657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T had pineapple juice for the first time this week.

Or a juice box occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360628 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:19:53 +0000 Smurfette 2360628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe once a week. DH has started adding the Kool-aid squirt flavor things to her water. She thinks it is juice but I still don't like her having it every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360611 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 21:03:20 +0000 mrsrain 2360611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sometimes add a splash of juice to her water, and if her blood sugar gets low and she becomes a little monster I've been known to give her a couple of ounces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360598 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:57:32 +0000 avivoca 2360598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She drinks orange juice every day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360510 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:07:33 +0000 dolphin 2360510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes.

If my husband and I are drinking something that isn't water at dinner B gets really upset that he can't share it, so we give him some diluted juice so he also has a special drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360382 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:50:00 +0000 chopsuey 2360382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. We're big fans of honest juice pouches.<br /> The kids drink OJ a few times a week too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360367 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:32:22 +0000 californiadreams 2360367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS gets what i get - half a cup of orange juice at breakfast daily. I've had this habit for years and i don't think i drink juice in excess and i realized if i am drinking it in front of him everyday, i can't expect him not to want and have some too. The only way i could keep him from having juice would be if i gave it up and i am not willing to, nor do i think i need to. So I am okay with the amount he has. It did take over 2 years before he actually started asking for it and develop the habit himself. </p> <p>I do plan to give up soda though because i wish i was not so addicted to them and i do NOT want to pass that habit onto my kids! I know I am pushing it now by the fact that it has been 3 years with DS and i still drink it in front of him. So far, he understands it is an "adult" drink, but i know we can't get away with that much longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360363 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:27:57 +0000 Kemma 2360363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only on special occasions but she does drink diluted flavoured milk on a regular basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360304 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:31:42 +0000 fancyfunction 2360304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she's only had water or milk so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360265 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:11:53 +0000 catomd00 2360265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shes never had juice outside of a little apple juice my mil puts in smoothies she makes. It's not something we want to introduce her to other than it being a treat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360261 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:11:10 +0000 looch 2360261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, he likes a particular juice from Bolthouse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360259 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:10:44 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2360259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope,she hates it. I tried apple and grape and she refused both. My kid is weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360254 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:08:57 +0000 Maysprout 2360254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I never saw juice as a bad thing. We avoid juice-like drinks or added sugar and usually half the cup is water. Our favorite right now is half carrot half pineapple juice. They'll drink watered down carrot juice too, it's surprisingly refreshing. They didn't though probably before 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360200 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:47:40 +0000 daniellemybelle 2360200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Almost every day (about 4 oz). Juice and prunes are the only things that keep the poops coming post-potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360194 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:44:44 +0000 Madison43 2360194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only buy orange juice, so gets that with breakfast everyday. At parties/special occasions, I'm ok with her having other juice, but not every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360185 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:39:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 2360185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very rarely. She doesn't even like it that much anyway and drinks plenty of water so I don't care if she has it once in a great while.<br /> Coconut water, she's obsessed with and would drink every day if I let her. But it's kind of expensive so I reserve it as a special treat. I like that it has less sugar than juice but I can always count on her drinking lots of it if needed (like if she is sick or something). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360172 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:34:10 +0000 runnerd 2360172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He regularly gets the tot apple juice that is diluted, then further diluted with water. It's either that or ridiculous amounts of milk, so i'd rather he get flavored water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360161 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:26:01 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2360161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 gets a cup of apple cider every day. It's been there one thing that keeps her regular. Not my favorite thing, but her bowels are slow and she needs the help.<br /> DD2 gets whatever sips she can steal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-drink-juice#post-2360146 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:21:24 +0000 kes18 2360146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine does, she is 19mo. We first introduced it because she basically went through periods of refusing all liquids (everything) and I really wanted her to at least drink something. She liked the novelty of juice pouches (I bought the ones that were basically like overpriced water with a little fruit juice)</p> <p>Now that she can ask for it, she loves asking for it...</p> <p>We do a cup now, but I usually do the combo veggie/fruit juices that are low in sugar (like 50-60cal for 8oz) and then I split that 50/50 with water. </p> <p>So I trick her haha. She doesn't get straight juice like OJ or apple too often, maybe 1 or 2oz a week when she asks to drink from daddy's cup. </p>
