Every once in awhile I`ll allow my DD (she`s 9) to have a diet 7-up or Sprite...no caffeine and no sugar.

Well, they don`t just drink sodas, but about once a month I`ll give them a cup. Not my baby of course, but the 8yo, 6yo, 4yo. I don`t see it harmful as long as its kept as a treat. Everything in moderation....at least for them, lol! I drink pop almost everyday (yeah I know, I`m bad!) but I`ve been trying to cut back. I`m a Pepsi freak, its like my morning cup of joe.

if we are out at a restaurant i drink lime and soda my toddle hates it but wants to try it as mummy likes it but its basically fizzy water with lime, otherwise he just has water or milk

no soda for my daughter yet. she just turned two and I`ll avoid it for as long as possible... I used to drink a lot of diet coke before i got pregnant but quit due to aspertame and caffeine and i never picked up the habit again so its never in the house. when she is older and figures out what it is I might let her have a bit (caffeine free) here and there but it will be rare. I don`t mind her having stuff like that like once a week or so. as of now she has cookies/candies/etc about once a week.

It is rare in our house but if I do it is maybe once or twice every couple months. I see no purpose for it ~ there are many other beverages that taste great and can even be thought of as a junk food drink but healthier :)

i no way specially give them but if they see me drinking which i normally dont bring to the table because then they want ofcourse....if they do see then i just pour a tiny bit into thr bottle with lots of water so they think thr drinking it but really its water.lol!i mostly dont brink to t table,but it gets harder if your at someone elses place or a party if thr isnt any water but most people do otherwise i prefer a more natural drink to give them like orange juice..........

i dont have that problem bc my daughter hates the way soda feels in her mouth. she`s never liked it. she will basically only drink milk or orange juice, or water, occassionally chocolate milk or apple juice. she prefers water and i dont argue. we were raised on sodas and my teeth are so bad from it. im really glad my daughter doesnt like it, as it avoids fights unlike many of my friends who have to fight with their kids when they say no soda.

I let my older kids have it as a treat (15/11 y/o) but not with caffeine. Just clear pop, mnt dew (no caffeine in it in Canada) or rootbeer. My toddler has never had pop.
