Sounds reasonable to ME. But anyone who would give a baby sno cone syrup is an idiot. Agreed....BUT...filtered water only takes *some* of the crap out of bad water, it don't do a damn thing for the taste though ;( We buy the bottle-your-own $0.25/ ga. water (from a storefront retailer called Water 'N Ice -- are those common outside the Southwest?) for drinking and baking. That stuff tastes fine, but it is intensively treated in a way I couldn't reproduce at home without RO and an ultraviolet light and some other filters. As a baby I wouldn't drink the water in the city I live in nor formula made from it and as an adult I'll only drink the stuff if I've no alternative. DS is perfectly happy with a sippy cup of bottled water and doesn't seem to like either cow's milk or juice. He does like my unsweetened Republic of Tea British Breakfast iced tea. I'm hoping I can avoid giving him sweet drinks for a long time yet. On that note, my sister's neighbor told her today that she "couldn't understand those people who only gave their babies water and not something good like apple juice", so maybe it's more common than I thought to believe flavored drinks are in some way necessary. To train the kids for Kool-Aid and Dr. Pepper later, I guess. -- C, mama to seventeen month old nursling |

I think a few of my freinds think it's unusual but most of them give their kids water. -- JennP. mom to Matthew 10/11/00 EDD #2 10/24/04 remove "no........spam" to reply |

They think if they only gave the baby water to drink they'd be somehow depriving the baby and the baby would be unhappy, rather than realize if the baby hadn't gotten anything else he'd almost certainly be perfectly content with water and *enjoy* drinking it. -- Cheryl S.

After the scoop of ice is put in the cone, it is covered with flavored syrup- sno cone syrup. |

True. Also, in some areas the water just tastes nasty and NO ONE can tolerate it. I drink my water with lime juice just so I can get it down. The water in this part of the country just tastes icky to me. In Houston its particularly foul. Ugh |

Sounds quite chemical to me - like aritificial flavour, sugar, artificial colour and nothing else? Tine, Denmark |
