Does anyone else have babies around the age of 1 that haven't had juice yet?
I'm getting tired of having to explain myself to my family and my husband's family and it would be nice to know that I'm not alone.

I personally have given my daughter juice already, but literally so watered down and only a few oz it's not even considered juice. BUT I know other people that don't give their children juice and it's fine. why's it such a big deal?

@their.bomb.ass.mom, why is me not giving him juice a big deal? I just don't think it has nutritional value and I know I hate drinking water and I want him to have healthy habits. Given the choice I want him to choose water. it's a big deal to our families because 25 years ago they gave us juice when we were little and we're fine and they think I should be giving it to him.

I meant why is it a big deal to them. I get why you don't. Children don't need juice. I only give my daughter juice or water with her snacks and such so formula isn't just sitting out for an hour or so and we only use Gerber apple or grape juice. So there are healthy options. But it isn't needed.

@their.bomb.ass.mom, it's a big deal to them because things were different 25/26 years ago when they were raising children. and they think they know best

I agree.
