I gave my baby (4months) a little juice, now is it okay to give her some formula? If not how long to wait until I can give her formula.

Yes, I watered it down. She had grape juice.

you shouldn't have to wait. Did you water down the juice? Even baby juice like Gerber needs watered down cuz it has so much sugar.

I find your question kind of confusing; why would formula come AFTER juice? At four months the only thing beside breastmilk your baby should be having is formula. Babies drink formula from the day they are born; why would you have to wait?

Some babies are fed formula immediately after birth. It's fine to do so if you can't nurse. But please don't give the baby juice. It's not the healthiest thing for them. I've seen so many babies whose teeth are horrible and need lots of dental work as they get older because they were given juice. This may not always be the case but it does happen often.

I have a 6 month old. My doctor told me to only give my baby juice (Pear or Prune) if she is constipated. Otherwise they do not need juice at 4 months. Only breastmilk or formula. I gave my baby pear juice to help her go to the bathroom a few times. I didn't wait long to give her formular afterwards. If your baby is hungry it's okay to give her milk after you fed her juice.

You shouldn't need to wait unless your baby doesn't want the formula right away... and don't worry, I was giving my daughter juice at that age, as long as it's the gentle juices, it's fine.
