OFF THE MENU (Bad)
Skimmed milk - offer full fat or semi-skimmed from two to five years

Undiluted fruit juices

**Drinks such as tea and cofee shouldn't be given to children because they contain too much caffeine. They also reduce iron absorption, and many kids have quite low levels as it is. If you can give your child a taste for plain water instead, you'll be doing them a favour for life.

WHAT IS UNDILUTED FRUIT JUICES ?


Answer from Dr Rana Conway

Rana says:
"Undiluted fruit juice is simply pure fruit juice, as you would buy it in the supermarket. It may be labelled as one hundred per cent fruit juice.

The reason why it isn't recommended for preschoolers is that because of it's high sugar content it isn't good for their teeth. Also this age group sometimes get quite a taste it and can end up drinking a lot, which can contribute to weight problems or leave them too full to eat the foods they need for healthy growth and development.
