I ask this on behalf of my sister, as I have no children and no in-laws to worry about (thank God!). My sister has been going rounds with her mother-in-law about what is best for my niece. The mother-in-law insists that she knows best since she's had two children, whereas my sister feels that she is doing a fine job herself in parenting (this makes her second child as well); always reading parenting magazines and books, following the suggestions of her daughter's pediatrician, etc. I guess the mother-in-law believes that if her two kids didn't die over "certain things" than my niece won't either.
Now, I don't really know the first thing about child-rearing, but I couldn't imagine that Pepsi and caffeinated/carbonated beverages would be exactly healthy for an infant. My niece is eight months old and my sister's mother-in-law is always trying to give my niece Pepsi and soda in her bottles whenever she stays at her house.
