Rethink your child's drink

Abstract

Healthy eating includes all foods and beverages. Many beverages contain added sugar and have no nutritional value. Before you serve your child a beverage, stop and think if it’s healthy, is it the right portion size, and will it affect your child’s appetite at their next meal. This paper, printed in English and Spanish, gives the recommended amounts of water, milk, juice and sugar sweetened drinks for different aged children.
