I want to try & transition my son to a sippy cup. How much juice do I give him? He's 8 months.

I started at 1oz juice and 3oz water. but in the first year mine only got juice when she was constipated or as a special treat.

can I just use formula instead of the juice? @dreab

Of course. That's what I did. She transitioned super easy at 7 months

Great!!! I will try it today! thank you @dreab

no problem. I hope all goes well

I personally wouldn't do any juice or water before 1 year. It's replacing breastmilk or formula and filling up the belly on extremely little to no nutrients at all... Juice can also cause teeth to rot, even before they surface. And too much water dilutes the bloodstream and can lead to water intoxication... Just give baby their milk in a sippy, it's all they need before 12 months. :)

alright, I will do just the formula instead then. I don't want that or anything to happen to my baby @brazenmommy thank you :))

Water is actually recommended at about 6 months. But only 4-6oz a day.

4-6 ounces of water a day means your baby is missing out on 4-6 ounces of the essential vitamins, nutrients and calories in breastmilk or formula. I've never had a pediatrician, nutritionist, or lactation consultant recommend giving an infant water; ever. It contains zero nutrients and does absolutely nothing for their bodies at all, except replace a meal. A meal that is necessary for your baby to grow and thrive... I'd find a new doctor, love.

My dr told me starting at 6 months they could have 1 oz of water a day. Babies get thirsty too. Doesn't mean they want a whole bottle.
