How much juice should a 9 month old drink??

Answer 1

My family doctor suggested that my baby only have four ounces of juice a day. The juice has to be mixed with water. I used sterile bottled water to mix it with. Half water and half juice. My baby didn't want as much milk when she discovered juice so I limit her as much as I can. Good luck with your little one...:)

Answer 2

Per our doctor, we were told we could give juice at 6 months. Now at 8 months, they get no more than a sippy cup of juice, once a day, no more than 6 ozs. The juice is diluted 1/2 and 1/2 with water, usually 3 oz water, 3 oz juice. Some days they drink it, some days they don't. We use only 100% fruit juice. They are also offered water in their sippy cups. Remember when you give juice, you need to brush the baby's teeth/gums to get rid of any of the natural sugars from the juice.

Answer 3

Up to 4-6 ounces but watered down at least 1/2 water 1/2 juice. Juice like juice juice where its not all full of sugar is fine and other juice that has fruit juice is fine for kids. Kool-aid and other sugar juices are not good for kids. You need to look at the labels and see what is in it. Our doctor said a little juice will not hurt the kid and if you brush there teeth everyday that helps with the cavities but may parents don't brush there kids baby teeth.

Answer 4

I didnt give my baby much juice at 9 month it always gave her the poopies really bad!!! When I would give her a little I would water it down. Like 2/3 juice 1/3 water. Usually just when she was having a little trouble going #2 or if it looked hard.She is 19 months now and would rather have water than juice. Thats an improvement compared to my older kids 6 and 9 who I have to guard the mt dew from.

Answer 5

No one really needs juice at all. Water is all the hydration he needs and juice should be very very diluted and given occasionally. At 9 months he is old enough to have the occasonal cup of diluted juice but water is all the extra hydration he needs. He should still be having atleast 24-40 ounces of formula a day as well, or breastfeeding atleast 4 times a day.

Answer 6

my doctor gave the ok on juice when my baby was around 7 months old...he said just don't offer it in a baby bottle and always mix it with water (50/50 ratio)...he also said to get juice that has no added sugar! My son has never had any problems in regards to not wanting to drink formula because he was getting juice.
I make 1 sippy cup with half juice half water and offer it to him throughout the day (with meals especially)...I usually refill it half way again with water...but some days he doesnt even finish the whole sippy cup..he still gets 3 bottles of milk on top of that! At the end of the day I brush his teeth with a baby toothbrush and some water.

Answer 7

None, juice is not necessary for proper nutrition. A child between 6-12 months may have 3-4 oz of juice, but there isn't a minimum amount.

Answer 8

Honestly, NONE. Children don't need anything to drink except milk and water. I first went to the dentist when my child was three. Thankfully he was cavity free. His two friends however, had 3 and 7 cavities. The dentist attributes it to candy, but mostly JUICE. He says it's a shame that parents aren't warned more about giving children juice. There is no nutritional value in it. My children (now 2 & 4) rarely have it. When the 4 year old drinks it, it is diluted 60/40 with water (water being the 60%) My two year old doesn't drink juice at all. When he was sick I offered it to him (some apple juice) and he wouldn't drink it. I've offered it to him again since and he wants nothing to do with it. I've stop trying because, again, he doesn't NEED it.

Hope this helps!

Answer 9

"SHOULD" is a loaded word... none is the answer... it's not necessary

but they can have a little... diluted - no more than 2-3 ounces per day (so 1.5 oz juice to 1.5 oz water)

Among the recommendations of the AAP report are that if you choose to give your child juice:

--when you give your child juice, it should be 100% pasteurized fruit juice and not fruit drinks.
--infants under 6 months of age should not be given juice, although many Pediatricians do recommend small amounts of juice for children that are constipated
--younger children aged 1 to 6 years should have only 4-6 ounces of juice a day.
--older children should be limited to 8-12 ounces of juice a day
--instead of juice, children should be encouraged to eat whole fruits

Answer 10

None. It has little to no nutritional value, no sugar added juices still have tons of sugars in them. At 9 months baby should be getting breast milk/formula only. When you begin to introduce another fluid, after 12 months, i suggest water. Juice is a sugary habit that is not good to start.
