Question: How much water should my child drink?

Answer: 

 Fluid requirements are based on your child's body weight. It is recommended that children consume between 50-60 mL/kg of fluids daily. 

Why?

Fluid is essential for maintaining hydration status. Water, milk, juice, and other fluids that do not contain caffeine or alcohol are considered suitable for hydration. However, water should be the primary fluid consumed with milk and juice consumed in moderation.

Going Organic? Take your baby with you!

Imagine ingesting a chemical produced solely for the termination of insects and vermin, and now imagine that same chemical...inside of your baby!

Frightening isn't it?

Lets face it, your baby is your mini-you, so if you wouldn't take a bite of the insecticide flavored apple, you certainly wouldn't want your baby doing it either. Imagine the long term health effects this could have on you not to mention your child whose body is a fraction of your size which means the effects are greater, happen quicker and will have a lasting effect on their little systems.

 Thats why we chose to go Organic and thats why millions of others like yourself have followed suit. The benefits are amazing and the peace of mind you get knowing that you have decided to rid yourself and your babies of unnecessary chemical poisoning is priceless.

Some of the benefits of Organic living include:
  - higher energy levels
  - softer skin
  - firmer muscle tone
  - and even a freedom from HEADACHES!!

Going Organic is easy but many are intimidated by it. Dont be! The first thing you should do is your homework! Research and find out the health risks and benefits of Organic Vs. Non Organic, how to pick the right organic foods and products, and how to start your own Organic garden.

I started with a super informative eBook by Claus Stockholm entitled "The Ultimate Organic Lifestyle." Not only does he explain  EVERYTHING you need to know about organic foods, but he opens your eyes to other organic products, clothing and even organic cleaning. Check it out here and let me know if it has helped you as much as it has helped me!

Until next time, we at Bare Blendz wish you happy and healthy living for you and your baby!
