Venting

I hate to be this mom but I’ve been seeing too much of this problem lately and it’s just driving me crazy.

Lots of moms I’ve seen and had play dates with have been giving their 13 month old so much juice/Snapple/koolaid 😞 my friend from childhood has a boy my baby’s same age (13 months) and he always has some artificially dyed juice drink in his sippy.

I’m by no means a health nut or anything but my daughter drinks whole milk and water...her ped has told us no juice. The ONLY time she has juice is a splash of oj in her water for flavor or a cup of apple juice if constipated. I even have bought Enfamil toddler formula to supplement her picky eating days.

I just don’t understand how these moms feel ok giving babies this sugar..and zero nutrition. I feel like they can’t possibly meet their developmental potential being fed this crap. Sorry to be that judging Mom today but it’s been making me upset for weeks. Especially seeing so many close to me doing it. Their babies honestly do not seem on the same level as mine and other nutritional families.

(It’s not a money issue either. I know both these moms have income and have supplemented with wic/ebt when needed)
