Dairy products contain riboflavin, vitamins A and D, phosphorous, and other important nutrients, in addition to calcium. Serve juice in moderation. Too much, especially before mealtime, will fill your children up, reducing their interest in mealtime offerings, which could short-change them on other important nutrients. Introduce juices separately to infants. This way you can see if the baby has an allergic reaction to a particular product.
Children love to imitate their parents.
Stuff encourages moms and dads to set a good example by drinking juices and water, instead of soda and other nutritionally challenged drinks. Copyright 1999 Baylor College of Medicine. All Rights Reserved.
