Answer

I'm gonna get hate but my boys are 2 and 3 and they never get large quantities but I will let them taste my coffee or my soda on occasion because I try to give them a big variety of flavors in their lives. But its never a lot, usually just a sip or two

Answer

I don’t plan on specifically denying her drinks with caffeine but I do plan on just keeping it away from her so she doesn’t notice shes “not allowed” to have something. But when she gets older, like older than 10 probably, she can have it here and there in moderation.

Answer

I started younger in moderation. With that being said I did this because I’ve watched people with hold for years and then when they’re kids are old enough to get a hold of it or sneak it (friends family ect) they cracked out on it, so I decided I’d rather introduce it and do in moderation to avoid that happening . But that was my opinion

Answer

My son has a cup of tea every now and then since he was about 3 but probably only once a month (English tea as we are English)

Answer

My son is 6 and every once in awhile I’ll let him have a couple sips of soda.. if he is reallllly good and asks I’ll give him a tiny cup.. but we really don’t keep soda in the house.. 
I know this chick who has been giving her kid Mountain Dew since she was a baby and the little girl has already lost most her baby teeth and has silver teeth.. she’s 4..

Answer

I try to get all my kids to drink water or juice... they don't let me make koolaid because I don't add the full amount of sugar lol... I don't drink soda so we don't have it in the house often but I'll get orange soda or grape if we get pizza or something...I do get Starbucks though and my 2.5yo thinks he is funny and likes to sneak drinks of it... but it's not much so I don't really worry. I just started buying my 13yo a frappuccino this year lol...

Answer

We don’t drink soda and I only drink coffee at work so my son is never really around caffeine. He’s 3 and I don’t see any reason for him to have that kind of stuff yet. There is plenty of tea out there without caffeine and even soda. When he’s older and in school or a party and wants soda, I’ll steer him to a little bit of Sprite or orange soda.

Answer

I knew I can’t prevent my son from drink the sweet drinks because it’s like everywhere. But since my son is only 10 months old so I’m not worrying about it yet. I plan to introduce him to it when he is at least 5 years old. Meanwhile he’s still young, he will only get water and breastmilk and once he’s 1 years old, he can have water, milk and a bit of juice. I really want to take care of his teeth well.
