drink it.

Why not filter it?

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.

I give Matthew mostly water or milk to drink. Not much juice at all. I think
a few of my freinds think it's unusual but most of them give their kids
water.

I think many adults don't like to drink water themselves, and project
that dislike onto their baby. 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.

A snow cone is a frozen dessert made of shaved ice and placed in a paper
cone holder.
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

Thanks.

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