Water, Juice, and Milk

Children should have the vitamins and minerals provided by juice and milk, but too much juice can cause problems with their teeth.

Children should have about 16oz low-fat milk and only 4oz of juice a day. Everything else should be water.

It's a good idea to serve milk or juice at meals and water in between.

Make sure you keep plenty of cold water in the refrigerator. For meals, have milk or juice.
