The concern re juice is that too many children drink to much. 3-4 ounces per
day is not going to damage anyone. I hesitate to get children used to a
bottle at 11 months becuase at about 12 months is time to take it away (if
it was ever needed it has this tendancy to become a transition item for many
children, then they try to sleep with it which is quite bad for the teeth.
I try to encourage mothers who do not want there baby to spil to try various
sipper cups
