[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, of course my LO gets treats. I'm just wondering what the benefits are beyond it tasting good. MIL believes it's something she should be having regularly, even though she has fresh fruit everyday. [/quote]

My daughter is regularly constipated, pear, apple amd prune juice help with that.

As a side note: I grew up in a "sugar free" house and have serious food issues. Everything in moderation, juice included. [/quote]

I also agree with everything in moderation.  I think the worst thing you can do is establish something as the "forbidden fruit."

My best friend growing up wasn't allowed to have sugar.  She'd literally go house to house asking the neighbors for a treat.  I remember once she got a hold of a box of girl scout cookies and at them all in about 5 minutes.  She is overweight today and obviously also struggles with food issues.  I, on the other hand, was allowed to eat all the junk food I wanted but was also served healthy, well-balanced meals at mealtime (and had parents who avoided junk themselves).  I ate plenty of junk food as a kid, but now have one of the healthiest diets of anyone I know.  [/quote]
