Besides I'm sure it is better than the coke cola & pespi that alot of kids drink -------------- Reddy All people smile in the same language

If I were you, I would ask a pediatrician first to see if there are safe products available for children @ 3. Please check with a doc first, especially when asking about your child's nutrition and health. A little probably won't hurt him. -------------- WISE MAN SAY: ONLY FOOLS DON\'T LIFT

I would not make a practice of giving it to him at 3 yrs. old. ============ Quoting from jdelts: If he's sipping on it there should be no problems (maybe a little extra slippery bowl movements), but be careful if you are planning on making it part of his diet...Some protien supps have many additives that can harm your child.
