At what age did you stop watering down juice?

If you don't water down juice, how much do you give your DC in 1 day and how old is your DC?

We never watered down juice for either DC.

ETA: With the new question wording... DS is 5 (in 1.5 weeks), and DD will be 2 in less than a month.

They both use the 10oz straw cups. DS will have 1 or 2 of those with juice during an average day. DD will often have the equivalent of a full cup (she'll usually swipe DS's cups, because his are sooooo much better than hers... ). The rest of their drinks are milk (skim for DS, whole for DD) or water.

hannah= 2 in june= if i give her juice in her sippy, i water it....if its a juice box (and NOT motts for tots), i just leave her....

she drinks about a cup of milk a day (i know, im horrible- but she will eat a thing of yogurt too and have plenty of cheese)....along with maybe a cup of juice and a cup of water....

i was always one to say--- juice aint so bad- not when its 100% juice and actually counts a a serving of fruit anyway...i usually buy the juice that has the added calcium too....

I use the Mott's 40% less sugar apple juice. She gets 1 sippy a day not watered down. When she finishes it, I just fill the cup up with plain water, so she is drinking about 8-10 oz a day of juice. She is now 19 months. I started this around 15 months.

Re: At what age did you stop watering down juice?

If they get it in a cup, I still water it down for my 2 year old.... 90% water to 10% juice (she gets bad diarrhea from it anyway, so she doesn't get it often). My older child stopped getting watered down juice at about age 3. Both take juice boxes straight up!

DS is almost 2 and I have never watered down his juice.

Re: At what age did you stop watering down juice?

DS is 2 and I still water it down. If I have a juice box with no bottled water on me then he gets it from the box. If I have water with me then I put it in his sippy cup and water it down. He gets 9-18oz of watered juice a day plus his milk which is about 10oz.

Kiera is 3 1/2 and we still water down her juice most of the time. Occasionally, like at parties, we'll give her straight up juice. But 95% of the time her juice is watered down and for juice boxes we do the Motts for Tots.
