I almost never give my LO straight juice. I usually fill his cup with water, then top it with a splash of juice for flavor. Do you water down juice?

The boys are 5 & 8 and we still water down their juice! lol.

I always water it down. We only give juice to DS when he's constipated. Watered down has worked just fine!
-
i water down my own juice, too!
LO is still too little for juice so far....
-
@.twist.: Nothing wrong with that, I continue to do the same!
@tysonja: I mostly drink water so I do the same for myself when I do actually have juice, lol.

Yes! Always watered down! We'll do mainly water with a splash of juice. He's 3 and has only had 100% juice once (from a juice box at a birthday party). He was whining for juice and he saw all of the other kids drinking from the juice box so we just let him that time. He devoured that juice box in 10 seconds! He kept whining for more! I was scared that he would demand non-watered down juice from on but he didn't. He still drinks watered down without any problems. Phew!

@banana: Ha that's that same way I make it. When we are at parties people think I'm so mean that I won't let him have juice boxes, but I'm trying to help my kid, not be mean!

@Boogs: yeah it's hard not to give your LO something that all the other kids are eating. My son hardly ever eats cake/candy so when he sees cake and candy at bday parties he goes nuts. So we let him eat a little cake with no frosting or some ice cream. A little here and there is ok with me.

@banana: We aren't super strict with ours, but we are just hoping that we can teach him lifelong habits now. Everything in moderation!
