I started off serving milk, watered down juice and water. Now it's usually water and milk at lunch depending on what it is. The juice is a treat and isn't given very often. I buy the 1L things of juice and dump it into a 2L milk jug and fill with water. This easily lasts us 2 weeks. I too don't think juice is bad. I think everything in moderation is key.

I like the idea of putting fruit into the water. I think I may try that even though my dck's drink water really well as it is.

**just curious as this question came to me while I was reading through this thread....those that are opposed to juice, are you opposed to flavoured milk as well? I sometimes give them chocolate or strawberry milk and don't really see the difference in that however, I have not compared the nutrition facts on the two.
