I Gave My Baby Coconut Water. Was This A Good Thing?

When I searched if it was okay to give coconut water to babies, all of the sites said it was, but none of them were credible medical sites. What they did say was that although sometimes coconut is labeled as a “tree nut” it is usually much less of an allergen than other tree nuts. Fuzz hasn’t shown any allergies thus far.

Then, I found nutritional data for coconut water. Here’s a quote on coconut water from the SELF Magazine Nutrition Data Page:

The good: This food is very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Vitamin C, Riboflavin and Calcium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Magnesium, Potassium and Manganese.

The bad: This food is very high in Sodium, and a large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars.

While I am concerned about the sugar and sodium. I don’t think mixing Fuzz’s food with coconut water is as bad as say, mixing it with juice, is it? It seems healthier, and while I agree, just water or breastmilk would probably be better, sometimes I don’t have any expressed milk handy, and don’t want to defrost a whole bag just for half an ounce in his food. Also, I am still worried about the water factor. I admit I’ve used filtered tap water in a pinch but only when the food was cooking so therefore (in my head) boiling out any impurities. I am fully aware that I may be delusional in this matter.

Thankfully, our new Capresso kettle arrived in the mail today, so regardless, it won’t be as much of an issue, but it would be nice to know if others think it’s okay to use coconut water for baby’s food or to drink once in a while?

Depending on what your concerned about in the water, boiling can concentrate some impurities, such as nitrates. I’ve never heard of boiling tap water in the US for infants. Tap water is highly regulated, and unless you’re in a place that often has issues with contamination (I can think of a few small towns in my state) or are on an unregulated private well, I wouldn’t worry about bacteria. Larger towns do tens to hundreds of bacteria samples a day out in the distribution system to ensure of that. Your city should have a annual report that lists impurities and explains them, if you’re concerned.

I’ve just been giving T. filtered tap water, no boiling. Boiling will kill pathogens, but not remove metals or chemicals. The Environmental Working Group ( http://www.ewg.org ) has excellent info on water quality in the U.S. and water filters. I think coconut water is OK, but it should probably be diluted a bit. Which brings you back to your water problem.

Flint River Ranch Price Adjustment on the Horizon | A Flint River ...

It’s the news none of us wants to hear. Back in April we read a news story from Bloomberg titled Fido’s Food Set to Take Bigger Bite of Budget that discussed how the cost of feeding our pets was expected to surge in the coming months, following the rise in our own food bills. Sure enough, pet food prices across the board have been rising recently, and we unfortunately need to report that a price increase is coming for Flint River Ranch pet foods as well.

Flint River Ranch has absorbed as many increases in shipping, fuel (yet again), supplies and higher ingredient prices this year as possible, but an adjustment in prices has become unavoidable due the rapid rise in many of these costs. Expect this increase to go into effect within the next 30 days.

We have always lowered costs where and when we’ve been able to do so, and this will be the first price increase for Flint River Ranch in well over a year. We realize that our customers are being hit with price increases everywhere in their lives, and we truly regret having to add yet another cost increase to our customers. We have always been and continue to be as expense streamlined as we possibly can be and have limited our expenses to the bare minimum. We have also done what we can to augment other increases and hold off on passing them along up to now. But another cost increase on production costs earlier in the year and then earlier this month we experienced yet another price increase on our ingredients. These last cost increases have forced us to adjust our product pricing.

We don’t have the official price adjustments or the exact date of the price increases, but as soon as we do have these details we’ll post them and update our site. We are continuing to work to make the increases as nominal as possible, and unlike many pet food manufacturers, we’re not going to reduce our bag sizes in order to make it appear as though our prices haven’t increased. We will also continue to be able to provide discounted pricing on all bulk orders, so if you’re able to do so or can organize with other local Flint River Ranch customers, you can take advantage of the savings on our 200lb and 520lb pet food orders.

Even with this price increase, Flint River Ranch products remain affordable in today’s pet food market. The nutritional density of all Flint River Ranch foods still means a cost savings against comparable pet food brands up to 25%, and our all-natural, human-grade ingredients and oven-baked richness will always be second to none in the pet food industry.
