What kind of juices can I start giving my two month old baby?

Answer 1

None until they are four months old. They don't need anything but milk or formula.

Answer 2

2 months old is way too young to start on anything besides breastmilk or formula. Their digestive system isn't built up enough. Besides the point the juices have natural sugars. Even when you start to feed the baby foods (around 6 months) you should start wiht veggies then work into the fruits, b/c they may not be ready for the natural sugars.

So don't start anything for a few months still. When you do, the 1st thing I would try is baby rice cereal. It'll say on the box how much to mix it with. I normally mixed it the way I wanted, but kept it very saturated with his formula.

Ask your doctor, but almost all will say 6 months, then they are more formed, and can handle more then their bubba with milk.

Answer 3

None. At that age, your baby should really only be having brestmilk or formula. If you think he's just thirsty, an ounce or two of purified water would be fine.

When he gets older, like around 5 months would be the perfect time to start giving a little bit of juice. Gerber sells juices in little 4 ounce bottles. I buy those. My son drinks all the different flavors now, but at first I gave him only watered-down White Grape juice, since it is the lightest flavor.

Be very careful with juice at this age, because even though their teeth may not be cuttin through yet, the sugan in the juice can still affect them. I know many children who'se baby teeth rotted before they fell out, or even before their first visit to the dentist because of too much sugary juice and sleeping with a bottle.

Answer 4

You really should not give juice until a baby is at least 4 months old. Their digestive system is too immature before then. The first juice you should try is 100% white grape, but only about 2 ounces at a time. We all know what happens when we drink too much juice.

Answer 5

Babys do not have the digestive maturity to digest juice at this age. It can cause baby to get cramps, become sick and irritated. Not a good thing for baby or parents.

Why are you wanting to give juice so early? There is so much sugar in juices. At this age you can make the insulin levels go too far out of balance. Consult your pedi.

Answer 6

First off you should always ask the doctor these kind of questions. I may be mistaken but I think you are suppose to wait until 4-6 months old to give anything but formula. Check with the pediatrician they can tell you exactly what and when to feed the baby. You don't want to give the baby allergies.

Answer 7

NONE. At two months juice is not good for his digestive system. Really, breastmilk is the ONLY thing he needs. Though if you wish to supplement with formula (about 4ounces at each feeding) because of convenience the thats ok. But not juice at 2 months!

Answer 8

I don't think they recommened giving juice to baby's till they are between 4 and 6 months. But if you decide to give juice to your baby always mix it with water.We don't give our daughter who is 11 months old juice at all cause no matter how much water we mix with the juice she gets really bad diarreha and then gets really bad diaper rash that bleeds.

Answer 9

You're not suppose to feed them anything other than formula or breast milk until four months of age. Before then, they're stomachs arent fully devolped and it can cause stomachaches and even infections. When you do start juice, always water it down because juice tends to cause pooping. Good Luck =)

Answer 10

No juices.....not good for him at this age.
All he needs is breastmilk or formula, per the AAP. They provide all the nutrients that he needs to grow and all the fluids that he needs. He's not really ready to digest other things. Juice is mostly sugar anyway.

Answer 11

I started with baby apple juice watered down. but i dont think they recommend giving juice that young
