Dietary Practices for kids!!

Dietary practices appear to be established early. Probably by 12 months of age development of eating habits and childhood food preferences start and are maintained throughout early childhood.
High-risk dietary practices such as frequent bottle feeding or nursing at night, extended and repetitive use of a no-spill training cup (sippy cup) are associated with early childhood caries. Frequent consumption of between-meal snacks and beverages containing sugar (juice, milk, formula, soda) increases the risk of caries due to prolonged contact between sugars in the consumed food or liquid and bacteria on the teeth.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended children 1-6 years of age consume no more than 4-6 ounces of fruit juice per day, from a cup (not a bottle or covered cup) and as part of a meal or snack.
