Reply To: Apple Juice Bottles

im fine with giving kids juice as an occasional treat, but to simply replace water with it really disturbs and scares me! especially cuz i have seen it so much at people i have babysat for or stayed by. ill never forgot this one time i was staying by a family whose baby had a burning fever and soar throat and was nonstop crying. the poor kid was a mess and for days the mother would nonstop give her apple juice bottles! barely any water! im sorry, you just don’t do that! i felt so sorry for the baby and even tried to “sneek” her water bottles or dilute the juice. i understand that its hard for a mother to find ways to stop her sick kid from crying but apple juice, which by the way DOES NOT QUENCH THIRST at all, is not the way to go! (it has been proven that some juices actually dehydrate you!) and for the record, the baby still was nonstop crying even with the “yummy” juice. it just made her feel more sick snd gross. she needed the cleansing effect water gives you when you are sick. and this is what inspired me to write this thread. so mothers, babysitter and sisters, please use your Seichel and hydrate your kids in the proper way, especially when they are sick because water is one of the most powerful substances on earth and is key to securing good health.
