When Should I Give My Baby Juice?

You may be worried about when to give a baby juice or fruit juice. I can recommend that you shouldn’t really be feeding juice to your baby any earlier than six months. They should be getting all their nutrition from breastmilk or formula.

My personal view is that if you do decide to provide juice to your older infant then you should keep it to a minimum – no more than 3-4 ounces per day. ideally you should encourage your child to be eating fresh fruit instead. fruit juice contains a lot of sugar and drinking too much of it can cause, or at least encourage, bad teeth due to acid erosion, diarrhea, obesity and bad eating habits.

I gave my daughters juice as a treat now and then but even then I would water it down slightly to reduce the sugar content.
