Is softdrink good for the child?

That is what I told her. But she said it is okay... Then okay for her maybe but not okay for me, for she tried to offer my one year old daughter with an ice tea the time we visited to their house. I was really surprised with this, because if anyone with a child would visit our home I maybe would offer ice tea or soda to the parents but maybe fresh milk or plain water to the kids if I don't have freshly squeezed fruit juice.

I did asked her the same way then she said that her child will drink milk during other time but during snack time she give some refreshments. I suggested to her that why not giving her child some cold fresh milk or a glass of cold chocolate share, she said that she haven't tried really and not very sure whether her child would like it.

Your statement to her is absolutely right. I;m confused though that she called those drinks refreshments; they're junks! And did you mean she gives them regularly? Because you said the drinks were given during snack time. I just hope that someday she'll realize or the children learn the truth from schools. What a parent..

I sure hope so... But school is yet too far since her daughter is still two years old... I hope she could have a semenar on what good food and drinks will be given to her child. I don't think that my friend is being immature since both of us are of the same age. She said that she used to drink softdrinks even when she was young and nothings wrong with her... I am really worried with her child.

I think my mom would stop me from drinking any drinks immediately after being told by a friend that those were dangerous eventhough there were no evidence. Clearly she couldn't care less about those kids. Poor kids..

Truly is... I hope by now she already tried avoiding soft drinks for her kid. We haven't really seen each other for a week now and I don't think it is nice to call her just to ask her about it. That would be too rude... I was planning to visit her again by the weekend, I hope their are some improvement after I told her not to give soft drink to her child.

Is that it? oh I just learned that now. So I guess I could have that reason of comparison of the acids next time I saw her offer a soda to her child.. Thank you for that information you've been a big help. I hope my friend would agree with me when I give her that explaination you have about acids. Enjoy myLotting.

That is what I also heared from my parents. When we were young our parents would not let us drink softdrinks. We are only aloud to whenever we have a sick stomach or something like we feel sick like wanted to vomit or something. But for refreshments we alyas have fresh fruit juices and cold milk shake, which I am also serving my child now. I just hope that my friend will try to consider my advice to her.

I really do hope so I could convince her. If she would not listen to my opinion about that softdrinks maybe she would listen if a registered doctor will be the one to tell her. She has a regular pediatrics and that pedia was even wondering why the child is still 9kg while she is laredy 2years old. The pedia was not aware that she was given softdrinks and junk foods that is why her appitite for good food was lost.

She's giving junk foods too? What kind of a mother is she? That should not be given to a 2 year old child. She can be reported to the designated authorities for this. No offense to you but your friend doesn't fit to be a mother.

I really don't think so that way, maybe she is it is just that she has this reason that she don't want to be so strict with the way raising kids so her child could enjoy every minute of being you.
She gives not just junk food, but also candies... The kid likes to ate chocolates, lollipops and lots of ice cream.
Their was one time when they were in our house, the kid were asking me candies but I do not have any because I don't give candies to my child. I asked the kid whether she is hungry then she said just a bit, so I get the cookie jar and make some choco shake for her and my child. My child was eating up the snack but that kid did not even pick one cookies because she do not like eating cookies or sandwich on snack time.

Maybe you're right that she has reasons why she's doing it. Or maybe she just don't know how to raise children. But either way it's still not right to treat her baby that way. Here in my country there are laws implemented related on parenting and your friend violated it. It can be perceive here as child abuse.

I noticed that we are of the same country. Yes we have that law, but that law here is not as strict as of other countries that the government could give you warnings if you raised your children in that way. There are even parents in our country that feeds their children just once a day and just by a piece of bread.(I know that because I was once went to that slum area to share gift during Christmas past 3 years ago). And our government did not even care for that.

Yes I am, I am not even drinking much softdrink myself only if I have a sick stomach... The one that is a problem here is my friend who offered her child a softdrink during snack time... Based on your explaination about that tooth put in a soda, I guess that would be helpful in making my friend understand that softdrink are not really good to be given for young kids.

Wow that is a great explaination you've got their... Thank you for that I hope that could really help me convencing my freind to stop letting her child drink softdrink evry now and then. And hope this should stop the sooner the better to avoid much damage on the child's stomach. Thank you for responding. You will have a plus from me today! Enjoy myLotting.

Thank you for that. I think that is what evry nutritionist would suggest to anyone specially if talking about foods and drinks to be given to small children. I think that when you have your chance to have your own child someday you would also be a great parent. I am very sure that you will be raising a healthy child of your own because you know how to feed good food to every one.

Yea maen to say that even fresh juice should be limit in each day? Okay that is another addded information for me to share with my friend... I noticed that her child is alsno lacks in protien because the child has wrinkled palms and feet.. I was really a little worried with this child because I am one of her GodMother.

well it's nice to know that you care so much abot the childs health and welfare, maybe she should give the child some milk during the day too, unsweetened juice is good for kids, but too much will not help, i hope that you can hel the child and i hope your friend take the advice from her babies godmother.

That is a fact... And I think only few of us believe in that. And my friend is one of those who do not believe. She has this reason that the effect to the body is different as people are also different. I hope she would learn her lessons.
