Do you let your child drink soda?

  • 28 Replies

I don't, but I'm a total hypocrite because lately I've been having a soda myself in the afternoon. I grew up with a serious soda habit and broke the habit in my 20's. I went many years without drinking soda and I'm about ready to give it up my afternoon soda again. 

It makes me happy to see my children drinking water and liking it.

I know that I drink more soda than I should but I don't let them drink it.  I make them different juices, water or milk.  I only let them drink sode when we go out to eat which is not very often.

Luckily my kids do not like any type of soda, we once tried giving them a zip and they refused it. I'm thankful they don't like it but either way I wouldn't be giving them any if they did. Soda too young isn't good in myopinion.

Unless we eat out they don't drink soda and if the place has juice they will drink juice. I don't drink soda at all but my husband is addicted to it lol.

 Once in a while. But must of the time they drink water, natural or with flavor, like agua de jamaica or lemonade.

My 3 year old doesn't like it either. I never gave her any real soda to try, but she tired sparkling apple juice and was not into it at all.

My oldest will have a small cup of it every once in a while. However, he likes his water. We have a fridge where the ice and water are on the door. He loves filling his cup up on his own so he drinks a lot of water during the day.

No, the only thing close to soda that they can drink is Sprite. I really dont even buy soda anymore.
