[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually do agree with the OP. We have not dealt with the constipation issue but other than that I can't see a good reason for giving juice. My kids are 7 and 4 and we've never served it and they don't like it. I can see a little OJ in the morning, but the kids I see drinking juice are mostly drinking apple juice and fruit punch and that kind of thing, which seems like candy with vitamin C to me. And I know no one on this board is this kind of parent... but more parents than you think give kids -- and babies -- bottles and sippy cups of juice all day long, and then have to deal with cavities and extra weight.[/quote]

i know a mom like this -- my SIL, who gives her kids (4 and 1.75) juice all day long.  seriously, the last time i saw them the under 2 yo had grape juice, a ring pop, and those "fruit" jellies all at the same time (11 am, btw).   those kids have more sugar than any 10 kids need and she sees nothing wrong with it.  i hate it and can't ignore it because she offers it all to my kids, who just don't get that kind of crap (but so get other crap, to be sure).[/quote]
