That’s it. No juice, no flavored or plant-based milks, no caffeinated beverages or sodas. The good news is parents of infants seem to be on the right track – breastfeeding is on the rise. But once children get into the toddler zone, it’s pandemonium. There’s been a boom in unhealthy foods and beverages for children six months to 3 years old, packaged for convenience and often promising to make children stronger and smarter. [/QUOTE]
