I gave my girls watered down pure fruit juice for as long as I remember. From about 12 weeks old it was 1oz apple juice to 8oz cooled boiled water, then as they got older i added a little more juice and less water I think. I still do that now, but obviously I now give them sugar free squash too. To be honest I'm a little naughty now, Matthew is 7 weeks today and I make up a water bottle of 9oz and add a splash of apple juice because he won't take water on its own but he needs something in between his feeds otherwise I'd be feeding him every hour.

PS. I started Littleman on Cow & Gate stage 2 on Thursday and he's been a lot more settled since. He seems satisfied and will quite happily got 3.5 hours now. I also changed to the No2 avent teats and he no longer falls asleep half way through a feed.
Jack has only realy been having Juice for the last 6 months or so, otherwise it was water
and even now i just colour the water with juice
i use robinsons no added sugar
there is a really light ribena that is supposed to be sugar free but it still contains something that is not suitable. and as for fruit shoots i never really thought about them, my partners kids always ask for fruit shoots when we are out for tea. personally i think its quite appalling most of these juices are aimed at kids. so like you said im curious to know what do we give them and from age?
I always gave Charlie water, or sometimes Id buy a carton of pure juice and dilute it 1 part to 20 parts water or something.
She now has sugar free juice very diluted or she will ask for water as she really likes it still.
Charlie only has water. I tried him once on very diluted pure orange juice when he was badly constipated, and he refused to drink it!
I wish I'd have been better with Kayleigh when she was younger. Luckily, she has good teeth, but I used to buy her the baby fruit jiuce (I was young and impressionable), and now when she makes a glass of squash, it's half squash and half water!
Seren only drank water or milk until she was just under 2. Now she will have some diluted squash if she asks for it as she was starting to help herself out of my glass or she likes milkshake but is only allowed one glass a day. I personally avoid the sugar free if I can as I don't like artificial sweetners but so much juice is sugar free.
I tried a fruit shoot about a year ago, it was the worst thing I have ever drank. It is like syrup, really really sweet, I couldn't drink it and I am a sugar fiend
i tried kacy with water when she was about 2 months old but wouldn't drink it then at 3 months old got her a beacker and made very weak squash for her. she drinks water every so often but wish she would drink more water. Saying that she like flavoured water which she has a bit off when i buy.

What you mean like the heinz, cow & gate bottle/jar baby juice etc.?
If so is there a reason you wouldn't buy it again?
