Water seems so boring. Don't want anything with sweetener. Used to use Capri sun until they switched to sweeteners... ideas?

Mine have always only had water.

They're 10 and 12 now and still mainly drink it, they have the occasional fizzy drink if we eat out.

Good teeth are not boring so they have water.

Water. Never suggested anything else and it's usually all gone by home time. It's all their classmates have too afaik.

Ill put lemon in DDs water as a treat! At home we enjoy "sparkle water" on occasion which is just mineral water with an added flavor like watermellon or cucumber (no sweetners just the natural flavor).

Water or loads of fillings at the dentist...

Mine have a carton of juice. They drink water or milk the rest of the day so I have no problems with one carton of juice a day.
Oh, and their teeth are absolutely fine.

bengalcat · 03/09/2019 20:52
