Teeth

Not sure about the eyes...try again:)

Interesting. The "sipping"thing never occurred to me.

Mini doesn't drink juice much as I never buy it, mainly milk, water and occasionally "beer" (100 plus if Daddy has some). It's a bit embarrassing when we're out, though, and he asks for beer!

If they're frothing at the mouth then you're wasting your money..

What if they froth at the mouth anyway?

If they're quite young then swallowing too much paste (or more specifically, the fluoride in the paste) can cause mottling on their developing adult teeth. Can be quite unsightly. Usually happens to kids who like to 'eat' toothpaste on the quiet. Not sure if the water is fluoridated in Singapore but if it is that's when you need to watch the levels they ingest.

I think MsA1 is actually Japanese because she is obsessed with seaweed, sushi, miso soup and wont even LOOK at dairy food. We get her those little packets of seaweed and she eats them as a snack. Hates pasta, is obsessed with rice.

MsA2 on the other hand would live off cheese and milk and yoghurt. Loves pasta and noodles, not fully about rice.

Thanks LVSnot for the cheese/milk for afternoon tea idea. We have recently got them off their bedtime milk by sheer luck of them both getting gastric flu and throwing up their milk so we have told them no more milk in bed because it makes you sick. However I had been thinking about how to introduce milk again into their diet but not in a bottle and of course, dumb tart I am, milk in a cup at afternoon tea time!!! Doh.

I was suggesting my child might be rabid

One shouldn't rinse?

OK, this thread is not what an obsessive person like me needs to read. I wrote before that while my dentist recommended I get Wolfie off the apple juice, I haven't done a very good job of it, and now I'm all over that poor kid's teeth obsessing over every stain.

while he gets a glass of watered down juice on occasion, Little M prefers tap water over anything else.
