Undiluted fruit juice given by mistake, help please?

[Nicnac]

Hi

Just got up from my "lie in morning" and DF has given LO fresh cherry & Berry juice without diluting it. I've started buying the little cartons and then diluting it, but DF didn't realise and LO loved it and drank a lot

What are the dangers? He's only 11 months old.

I swapped him over to water and made him drink a bit, but now he's gone for a nap and I'm panicking, staring at the monitor like a loon.

Does anyone have any advice please?

Thanks

oops! I think he'll be ok, worst that might happen is he'll have a tummy ache and tummy upset. Just something from your OH to learn from I think

Is it already diluted? If so I wouldn't worry. It will have a lot of sugar in it, but I don't think it will do any real harm as a one off. Just make sure his teeth get a good clean.
We gave Dylan a fruit shoot once when he wasn't much older than your LO. He'd drunk half of it, when I had a little taste and realised how strong they are! It's like syrup. We dilute them now, when he has them.

Edit: Just realised it's fresh juice. It will be fine, like Isil said, the worst that will happen will be a yucky nappy!

Oh I thought you meant concentrated squash at first but fresh fruit juice he'll probably be fine. Might give you an interesting nappy but thats about it.

He'll be fine, they can contain alot of sugar so he may be a little hyper for a while and may have a few runny nappies, but other than that I would say no harm done

I thought you meant the double concentrate cherries and berries stuff! if it's just fruit juice it'll be absolutely fine!

hun if it's little cartons of fruit juice, you dont actually need to dilute it, it's fine for children to drink from the carton, if it was concentrated then i'd say he'd have a bit of an upset tummy and a bit hyper, but i think he'll be fine

Actually .... I always gave mine regular juice, even at that age. I never heard of diluting it! Guess it must've been OK, cause nothing ever happened ... that should make you feel better!

100% juice will be fine. Won't hurt him but it might make him have the poops.

Whenever I give 100% fruit juice I never dilute it. He gets the fruit plus veggies juice boxes and has about 2 a week. I think they recommend diluting it just because it has so much fruit sugar and I am sure some kids will only drink juice so its a good way to add a little less sugar and a little more water

ryan has always had undiluted fruit juice, it never realy crossed my mind to dilute it lol

hubbie once accidently gave ryan undiluted squash! he was fine though lol bit of a runny nappy but thats it, i wouldnt worry.

There's no danger in it. I haven't diluted LO's juice in ages! He'll be fine.

I never diluted Harley's juice, and she was fine. I couldn't bring myself to, it was so gross diluted. But she never had any problems with it
