Prepare the fluorescent water by. removing the tip from a fluorescent highlighter and placing it in a beaker con-. taining up to 500 mL of water. After a few minutes, the water will be highly. fluorescent. When this water is used to make slime, the slime will be highly. fluorescent under a black light.
Babies do not need juice. Babies younger than 6 months should not be given juice. However, if you choose to give your baby juice, do so only after 6 months of age, give only 100% fruit juice, and offer it only in a cup, not in a bottle. To help prevent tooth decay, do not put your child to bed with a bottle. If you do, make sure it contains only water.
It's a good idea to offer juice only after mealtime, so your baby doesn't get used to sipping it all day and so it doesn't fill her up before she eats. Be sure to choose brands labeled 100 percent fruit juice (these may have less added sugar than other kinds) and dilute it with about half water. Keep in mind that a baby can develop diarrhea from drinking too much juice, so limit her intake to no more than 4 ounces a day. Copyright 2009 Meredith Corporation.
