MY son loves juice now he has cavities and the doctor said juice is not good for him.I just dont know what to do. He is been crying all day. Please help me.
From Sara:Nadia, check what's the reason for your son to be crying all day. Young children generally don't need juices. But if you want to give your son juice, always dilute the juices with one part water.
Never give juices to your child in a bottle. Slow sucking from the bottle will bathe your child's teeth in sugar for longer periods which may corrode their teeth.
You might also want to try less sweet juices like green apple, pear, guava, or mix them with some green juices from mild vegetables like cucumber, lettuce, spinach, etc.
Do learn about the
basic guidelines when giving your child juices.
God bless.
