Gatorade

[LailaCA]

My dh likes to give ds sips from our Gatorade. While I know Gatorade is beneficial for me (low blood pressure...and pass out easily), I have qualms about giving it to ds. Does anyone have any info regarding this? If you have any backup please provide. DH believes no one, unless there is "adequate proof". As he said earlier today "I am always right".

Thanks so much all.

I don't think it's the worst thing in the world, but it has artificial color and flavor, which are just not good for a little one--or anyone, really. A better choice would be Recharge, a natural, juice-sweetened version of sports drinks.
