The doctors dont like you giving them any kind of juice but I always gave my kids 1 ounce of juice to 4 ounces of water it hasnt hurt any of them. Its mostly water with just a little flavor

I would stay away from juices for another 2 months, but if you do give your baby juice, dilute it, half juice, half water, so your baby doesn't get diarrhea.
The best first juices are apple and white grape. White grape is easier on the stomach. Stay away from orange juice. It's too acidic.

If you breastfeed your baby is better to wait until she`s 6 months to give her anything else besides your milk (including water. After she can start drinking juice, just boil an apple and give it to her.

I wouldn't recommend it. I would wait until he/she is 6 months before offering any kind of juice.
Contact your doctor.

they don't need juice at that age. but it won't hurt them if you do give it to them. my doctor told me that when you do give them juice at first, dilute it 10 parts water to 1 part juice. and apple is ok, but nothing citrus, it's too acidic for them.

Only if he/she has trouble pooping.
If not, he/she does not need it.
It's just water with sugar!
