the first taste of soda.

S
I posted this question in first time moms group but figured I'd get more responses here.  
How old was your child or children when they had their first taste of soda? Who gave it to them?? 
My husband is a server at a resturant and routinely sees very young babies, toddlers, infants drinking soda.  Usually parents would give a 2 or 3 yr old a full glass all to themselves with several refills. My husband says it makes him sick to serve these kids.  He always tries to offer milk to kids. 
 So this was a subject that camebup with us and we decided to keep it away from our child for as long as possible.
