Well lucozade is basically sugar, and I think we can all agree we’d rather children be ill than fat *tinkly laugh*
Absolutely!
And far better for the baby to be in intensive care with immaculate teeth than running about playing at home with perhaps the need for an extra minute's brushing tonight.
Edit - usual AC reasons

Ffs they’re still going on about the delivery driver being unreasonable. People keep saying they should’ve rang before… he was outside her bleeping house delivering to a house opposite. I mean I know how dare he actually knock on her door but if it was all that bad why didn’t she just say “I’m really sorry I don’t feel physically able to deal with this now”. All the poor guy did was see an opportunity to maybe finish a bit early- they’re painting him as some Devil wears Ocado. I’m sure if she’d said no he’d have come back.
Man asks if he can deliver early as he’s in the area, woman says yes… only mumsnet could turn this into a dressing gown/ breakfasting/ porch door epic bore.
I've chatted with the delivery person's (both male and female. (Please forgive me - I know I shouldn't treat them as people because they'll get above their station, and also I have to beg another forgiveness because I didn't ask how anyone identified which was very gauche of me). Anyway - where was I? Oh, yes - chatting with the drivers.
Anyway, they are apparently on really tight delivery schedules - they are allowed X minutes/ mile driving, and this doesn't allow for roadworks, breakdowns, traffic jams etc, and the times are the same whether they are on winding country roads, straight town ones, at rush hour or quiet times. They are allowed Y minutes to deliver, and this includes all types of property - 18th floor flats, semi-detached houses, Blenheim Palace with an umpteen mile drive and a servants entrance - whatever. That delivery time also covers any customer who needs or wants them to carry the shopping into the kitchen, unpack it etc,
If you're on such a tight schedule that it only takes a red traffic light to start to push you off your timetable, then I can understand why they take the opportunity to deliver early if they can. Similarly I've seen vans parked up for a few minutes because otherwise it would be deliver to Area A - go to Area B, back to Area A (in the next time slot), then Back to B, then to C then to A again.
They're better delivering to all of A if they can (if the time slots are close), then do B and C. It's a fine balance I suppose
