another question about the juice?

Question

my baby is four months old, now can i give her apple juice to her when its cold? or should it be room temp?

Answer 1

try giving it to her cold and see if she likes it. my daughter loves it cold.

Answer 2

The temperature doesn't really matter..... With the warmer weather coming your daughter might like it a little cold. If you mix the cold fruit juice with room temperature bottled water (we keep a jug on the countertop) then it's a good temperature for serving.

And... just keep in mind... It sounds like you've made the decision to go ahead and feed her juice. So, I just wanted to say... Remember, just because she has it once or twice... Doesn't mean she *has* to have it every day. It can just be a "once in a while" treat rather than become an actual part of her daily diet. As I mentioned in my answer on your previous question, the juice really has no nutritional value for babies diets. It is usually the parents that like to start adding it early-on and lots of times it gets to be a bad habit because baby starts preferring the sweet over milk and water. Also the parents end up serving too much of it... So just use caution and you'll be alright!

Best of luck to you!

Answer 3

She should not be given any juice at all, unless a doctor tells you to if she's dehydrated. Hold off on the juice until she's at least 6 months old when introducing a sippy cip, but waiting until the first birthday is even better. Babies will usually accept just water in a sippy cup, so that juice will do nothing but give them a sweet tooth. Juice should never be put in a bottle because the natural sugars in juice collect at the silicon nipple and will rot her teeth out, even if they haven't popped up yet.

Answer 4

Juice is full of sugar (natural sugars from the apples, but it is still sugar) and is not healthy for a little one as young as yours. Once she is old enough to get juice (around 6 months), make sure you water it down to about 50% water and 50% juice. A child that age just doesn't need that much sugar. It can make them more prone to childhood diabetes and can actually rot her toothbuds (preteeth) making her more prone to cavities when her teeth emerge.

Answer 5

As long as it is not ice cold it is fine. Your baby may have a preference so just watch how she reacts... she will let you know. Room temp is easy but if juice is in the fridge use room temp water. It balances very well

Answer 6

Let your daughter decided how she wants it. What's most importnant is that she's not getting to much of it. To much juice can cause children to become overweight. My sons dr told me not to give him juice at 4 months, so I waited a couple months then started adding it to his cereal. He's 9m now and I just recently started giving him a couple oz of juice in a sippy only. Juice from a bottle is not good for teeth because the sugars stick to them and can rot them. Myson uses a sippy with a soft nipple like spout. It's a Nuby. He does very well with it.

Answer 7

It is not recommended to give babies juice at this age. At 4 months, your baby should be drinking formula and/or breast milk. You can also start him/her on infant cereal (start with plain rice cereal) if you haven't done so already.

100% juice and water can be given at 6 months of age. You should also try giving her these drinks in a cup (it helps develop her motor skills and will help you with weaning her from the bottle later on). I would also suggest diluting the juice with water before giving it to your child.

Answer 8

Just dont do juice!!!! Its the number one leading cause of obesity in children in america! My babies pediatrician said NOT to give them juice at all..!! If you still do choose to give it to your baby..wait until she is at least 6 months old and dont give it to her in a bottle only a sippy cup. Better yet just do water in a sippy cup and feed your baby fruit!

Answer 9

juice can be given cold if the baby will tolerate it. some babies prefer even their formula cold. make sure to dilute it 50% with water. the water will warm it up a bit too. watch it with apple juice being too warm. it can give some babies diarhea.

Answer 10

u can give ur baby juice? I thought u cant cuz of the sweetness? only limited amounts i guess room temp my son was 9 months and couldn't have more than 4 oz.

Answer 11

Depends on what she prefers. Just make sure you dilute the juice if you *are* going to give it to her. Aside from breast milk or formula, water is best.
