When can a baby have juice?

Question

Can a baby have juice when they start solids or is there some other timeframe to use?

Answer 1

As soon as your baby starts the corresponding solids, he/she can also start drinking juice. When you're offering applesauce, you can also offer apple juice. Always use at least a 1:1 dilution with water. Avoid citrus-y fruits; they can irritate a baby's stomach.

Hope this helps! =)

Answer 2

All juice and fruits have acid, so its hard on a new babies tummy. Gerber makes juices specifically for babies that don't have to be watered down or anything. I would wait until baby is six months plus. If you buy regular juice, always water down half and half. I don't know why, but for some reason I opted not to give my daughter orange juice at all until now, and she's 18 months. I stuck with real fruit juices and apple juice. Good Luck.
ps cranberry juice helps prevent against bladder infections and clears their systems. prune juice makes them poop

Answer 3

Once the baby is eating solid foods, than you can introduce juice. I strongly suggest getting them use to drinking water before juice. That way hey will not get use to the extremely sweet juice that Gerber and beechnut makes! I also suggest giving them juice that is diluted with water. Also give it to them in a sippy cup.

Answer 4

As soon as they start eating baby food, instead of juice just give them fruit (pureed of course), I do not think juice from a bottle is good for their developing teeth, and the real fruit is better for them in the long run.

Answer 5

probably when u start feeding them food i'd say maybe 7-8-9 months

Answer 6

I've read that they can have it only after 6 months.
