I never get fizzy drinks myself, but sometimes at a birthday party my kids were offered a fizzy drink and they would drink it. I don’t have much of a problem with that as it’s not very often

My son never drank them, we just had juice or coconut water, much healthier. He never tried coke until he was 10 and now as a teenager does not even drink them. I personally think they are not good for any child, not even as a special treat because why give something unhealthy as a special treat? Get them drinking homemade juices or smoothies.

I think whatever age you’re comfortable with them having fizzy drinks on special occasions. There will always be someone who doesn’t agree with you so when you feel comfortable is best.

I think at parties are fine , in moderation and followed by plenty of water is good

up to you really. i have a friend whose kids have never drunk it (10 and 12 years old) to her knowledge anyway.

Cool, Birthdays are special occasions so I might stick with that, something special, something different from juice and water and milk

Ok for an occasional treat.

The only fizzy drinks we occasionally have in our house for treat is nudie soda. there is no added sugar. Just juice and soda

I avoid them as much as possible.

Nah my child is 6 years and contemplating whether she should wait a bit longer and stick with watered down juice

No, not really. Simply for the amount of sugar in each one I avoid them as much as possible. I guess school age is acceptable if you feel you have to. Please don’t be one of those mums who put it in babies bottle

My 8 year old still only has of drinks as a special treat. Theoretically, any time after around 1 – but thats pretty young and at that age its probably best diluted 50/50 with water, it at all.

I don’t like the kids having soft drink but my husband has it and so the kids do also. If it was my choice I would give it to them rarely at parties or special occasions only
