What juice at 16 months?
After Max self weaned off the breast at 10 months all he has had to drink is water (I have tried other things but he hated them and I was always more than happy for him to like water ) but now he is interested in mine and hubbies drinks - to the point of having tantrums when he doesn't get a taste!!! So I wanted to know what juice I can give him - we only ever have sugar free squash is this suitable or not????!!!!

Mmm smothies! Must get my smoothie maker out sometime, although i only have one recipe (lemonade, black forest fruits or summer fruits, and a couple of small meringues - yum yum)
We use a hand blender and a tall plastic jug when making them so its easy to wash up.
We are bbq'ing this weekend and I'll do chocolate icecream milkshakes for the kids (special treat... we just got a fancy hand blender out of our wedding vouchers and i like to playw ith it!) and smoothies for me.. or maybe a bacardi and coke
We can't get all the fancy squashes etc here in Thailand so Izaak has plain ol' (bottled) water or milk. He makes eyes at his dad's beers though He is allowed a weekly banana smoothy when we go out for lunch at the weekend.
One of his friends has really diluted prune juice He went on it for constipation when he was really tiny and apart from breast milk (he's still BF at 17 months) he won't drink anything else! Lets say the constipation doesn't bother him any more but his mummy is often scolded by other mums because prune juice is the same colour as coca cola!!
I've been told all natural fruit juices are ok if you check the sugar content and dilute them... Izaak doesn't get any fruit juice here because they are laced with suger (even I dilute my apple juice because its too sweet).

i wouldnt give sugar free squash, only because I heard that the artificial sweeteners are not good for little ones, i think this comes from something i read when I was pregnant
