soooo WIC gave me a paper that shows HOW/WHAT she should be eating/drinking and at 6-8 months it says she needs 1-2 ounces of 1OO% juice twice a day . I breastfeed and have NEVER thought that a baby that young would get juice ?! has anyone else did this or know anything about it ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Yeah you'll still want to give her milk until shes 1 but add juice and water in her day.
My son started getting prune juice at 8 weeks due to not being able to poop. But he started drinking straight apple juice at 5 months he loves it. I agree with @andrewsmommy my son is 7 months old and sometimes prefers juice over milk. He still gets milk most of the time. But with beginning solids he'd much rather have juice to eat with.
@andrewsmommy, okay thank you . i knew about food but like I said had never heard of juice that young . I thought it was just milk and food ! lol I guess you learn something new everyday . thank you ❤️
They can have a little juice deluted with water. I started giving my son juice and wated at 6 months. Dr will say thats the time to introduce them to it also. When their 1 year and if you decide to stop breastfeeding by then, their day will consist of very little milk becauee they want them to have water and juice through out the day.
Most pediatricians actually are telling parents to not give juice now. It's not needed.
