Once a thread gets this long, it becomes irresistable to those who don't bother to read the whole thing in context to comment on it.

That being said,
To the original poster:

Some people think that it is OK to give the child whatever the parent wants, regardless of the gut feeling you have about whether or not it is good for the child.

Other people think that you are right in being concerned for this child, and that the little information you have to go on is enough to follow up with.

Yet others think you are a yellow-bellied Juice Hater!

Personally, I say thank you for trusting the various opinions on this forum, and I hope that we didn't scare you off. It was a good question, I hope it was answered for you in a way that settles the issue.
