I'll just say it: don't give your baby juice. It's bad for just about everything, and good for basically nothing.
Babies should be breastfed, or given formula, and then gradually introduced to solid foods like oatmeal, mashed bananas/apples as they grow older.
Once they're toddlers and done with breastfeeding/formula, give them water to drink. Anything else is just a net negative.
- dpark 8y agoAgreed. The only times juice is appropriate for a baby is if they are at risk of dehydration (at which point give them anything they’ll drink) or if they’re constipated (the sugar in juice can stimulate the digestive system). In general juice isn’t particularly healthy for anyone. It’s sugar water.
