[Diabetes-talk] Sugar drinks

[Sandi Ryan]

Talk to the doctor about your baby's water.  When I was doing infant diet 
counseling, we always told the moms to give their babies at least two cups 
of tap water per day.  The issue is fluoride, which strengthens the teeth. 
Water is bottled without it for the most part.  It's not such a big deal for 
adults, but it is for babies growing teeth!
