The first one is indeed a parody made by thecitydesk.net

Sandra, this is unbelievable!! A WHOLESOME PURE combination for toddlers? Giving soda to babies and feeling good about it?

This is hilarious and shocking at the same time.

I wonder what future generations will say about our ads…

And let's not forget the "She'll Want to Thank You Three Times a Day" (she, being the "little woman") ad from In Sink Erator: Old Ads If you get her an In Sink Erator, the little woman will have more time to ??? and to spend with the children? The nose drop ad further down that page is also very special.

Here is the “small print” from the baby drinking 7-Up ad:
Why we have the youngest customers
in the business
This young man is a 13 months old – and he
isn’t our youngest customer by any means.
For 7-up is so pure, so wholesome, you can
even give it to babies and feel good about it.
Look at the back of a 7-Up bottle. Notice that all
our ingredients are listed. (That isn’t required of
soft drinks, you know – but we’re proud to do it
and we think you’re pleased that we do.)
By the way, Mom, when it comes to toddlers – if
they like to be coaxed to drink their milk, try this.
Add 7-Up to the milk in equal parts, pouring the
7-Up gently into the milk. It’s a wholesome
combination – and it works! Make 7-Up your
family drink. You like it . . . it likes you!
Nothing does it like Seven-Up!

I think the Coke ad was real. Here are links to two 7-Up ads popular around the same time: 7 up vintage ad 1950s 7 up baby Not to mention the criminal cigarette ads like these: Marlboro Babies (Wow, Mom, you'd better have a smoke before "scolding me.") Philip Morris Cigarette Ad Marlboro Baby I'm gathering these old ads for an upcoming baby shower; we're blowing them up to poster size as part of the party decor. Incredible. Sandra
