HIPP organic mineral water drinks question

[minxie]

I recently got a sample of the HIPP organic mineral water with fruit extract drinks which they say are ok for babies from 4 mths. I gave a bit to baby Jacob today and he loved it. Just wondering if its ok to give these kind of drinks everyday at the age of 5 months (say 60-80 ml a day)? Or should he just be having milk? Are there any 'negatives' to these drinks e.g. sugar?

Personally I wouldn't give it everyday, there is natural sugar in these drinks which still rots teeth and encourages a sweet tooth. Perhaps give it as a bit of a treat, or dilute it with cooled boiled water.

I am a bit warey of giving my LO sweet drinks as I would prefer him to drink water until he is a little older. Just my humble opinion though!

I give this a max of twice a week. x
