The Scoop on Giving Your Baby JuiceWritten by Cassandra Germsheid
Many moms like to think that as soon as their baby turns 6 months of age, they should start giving them juice. But this couldn't be further from truth. In fact, juice is NOT necessary for an infant. Here's why:- Because of sugars in juice, it can cause diarrhea. - Too much juice can cause a child to be overweight or obese. - Juice contains sugars and acids that can cause tooth decay. - Giving your baby too much juice can hinder growth and development, and can cause malnutrition and anemia due to lack of nutrients like proteins and complex carbohydrates. - If you are still breastfeeding, juice can cause your baby to nurse less. Although juice contains Vitamin C, you don't want to give them too much. It should never be considered a supplement. If you must give your baby juice, consider these guidelines. - Wait until your baby is at least 6 months old. But even then, babies at this age still do not require it.

Review 5/2/05 Hey Mom! Do you have a girl? Does she collect trading cards? Do you find yourself tired of being bombarded by sports cards, action-figure style trading cards, and cards geared towards male population? Then you’ll love U Go Grl trading cards! U Go Grl trading cards were designed by a girl, for girls. These cards are a great way to teach your pre-teen (tween) daughter about what else—being a girl! What I found really cool about these trading cards is fact that they speak “teen.” For instance, as an adult, we would spell out “great” or “you,” but cards use teen lingo and therefore use words like, “gr8” and “u.” Another plus to cards is that they instill good values in our daughters through life skills, grooming tips, and social skills. They remind our daughters how fun it is to interact with other girls by being respectful to one another. And they teach our daughters to play simple games, like Jacks.
