[blparent] Ginger ale when sick

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

That's why you should buy the diet ginger ale. I never buy the sugar
kind. Unless they need the calories, I wouldn't give a child sugar
drinks like soda. I'd say a child under one doesn't need something like
ginger ale or soda either regardless of sugar-free or not.

My mom used Ginger ale for me when I had the flu as an older child at 5+
years but never as a baby.  The bubbles and the ginger help the stomach
but if I were to do anything like that for my son I'd look for the real
Ginger ale that they sell at Trader Joe's and health food stores like
that because he really doesn't need all that sugar.  The sugar kind of
defeats the purpose of trying to settle the stomach with the
carbonation.
