Juice

Can I start giving my son juice? if so, what kind?

Hiya, yeah you can give them baby juices which you can get in the supermarket or my HV advised me to give mine pure orange or apple juice really well diluted x

They say 6mo you can but it's really unneccessary and the longer you hold off the better. We waited until 15mo with Hayden. But you can do anything that is 100% juice, apple and white grape are great ones to start with. we were told no orange juice until atleast 12mo because they also aren't supposed to have citrus fruits before then because of the high instance of allergies and it's so acidic it can really upset their tummies and give them diarrhea. Also be sure to water it down, we started about 90% water 10% juice...now most of the time it's close to 50/50

We just use the baby juice and dilute it down more than you should

Brooke isnt fussed either way, she's prefectly happy to drink water or juice

Water is the best choice for drinking through the day, juice should only be given at mealtimes as it can cause early tooth decay if the teeth are bathed in it all day....this includes fresh fruit juice, even diluted
