Can toddlers have oranges and orange juice?

Question

I have a 14 month old toddler and I want to feed her oranges and give her orange juice. Is it ok to give her citrus stuff?

Answer 1

I had to be careful with my daughter, she loved orange juice at that age, but it gave her a nasty diaper rash that was almost like a burn from the citrus. It's full of vitamins and nutrients.

Answer 2

do juices diluted 1/2 and 1/2 with water and no more than 4 oz of juice a day for toddlers. As for oranges, please just watch carefully as the orange can be hard to chew up before swallowing and cause choking in young children.

Answer 3

Yes. It can't hurt to water the juice down, at least at first. Orange juice does make them pee a lot though. At 14 months her tummy should be fine. Gerber even sells orange juice for babies.

Answer 4

My 2 & 1/2 yr old grandson had orange juice & He had painful welts & blisters all over his bottom. Cleaned him up & used destine on blisters & asked them to only give him 50/50 or less orange juice, but that he may be allergic & might be better to avoid

Answer 5

I have a 13 month old and she LOVES fruits, but we stay away from citrus for now. I'm no expert, but I just feel like their tummies are too young/sensitive for highly acidic things.

Answer 6

I always gave my daughter orange juice at that age. She loved it. I'd just test it on her to make sure she's not allergic to it. Then go from there.

Answer 7

Yes unless it gives her stomach pain or diaper rash. But that is a very small percentage of toddlers.

Answer 8

Oh sure it's fine unless you have food allergies to worry about.
I water down all juice our daughter has. Half and half.

Answer 9

Yes.
