There isn't much one can use to moisten waffles that children will
enjoy that doesn't contain sweetener in one form or another so natural
fruit is probably best; applesauce and fresh berries... fruit butters
are good too; apple, pear, peach, and of course yogurt with fruit is
probably most nutritious. The sugars naturally contained in foods
are not going to affect teeth one iota if a regimen of proper brushing
directly after meals is instilled. And waffles in of themself are not
very nutritious anyway, and especially not if you're buying those
funky frozen ones you pop in the toaster.
