@z.e.d.e.k.i.a.h.i always loved juice so I gave athena a bit of apple juice every so often. Her favorite now is grape juice. When she was 1 her daddy came up with "purple cow" grape juice and milk and athena was obssessed with it
My pedi told me is was ok at 6 months when she started solid foods. I just mixed a small amount of apple juice with water in her sippy cup. Also my baby was super constipated and her pedi said the juice would help. And it absolutely did.
I think it has a lot of sugar but my MIL keeps insisting in giving him some wanted to see from you guys opinion maybe just maybe I'll give him some apple juice
@z.e.d.e.k.i.a.h., If you don’t want your child having juice, then just say no. If anything, just water it down. We did that with my son. But at the end of the day, my advice is to just pick your battles. My mom always loads my son up with sugar when she sees him and I just allow it to happen because in the grand scheme of things it’s not a huge deal. She’s not harming him if it’s every once in a while. At home my son doesn’t get that type of diet but at grandma’s it’s just a special treat and he knows that. And even though my son has had juice, he stills always chooses milk and water over it. It’s not like it ruined him for life. Good luck!
With all of my kids around 6-7 months is when I introduced apple juice but water it down you don’t want them to prefer the plain juice over water . They always love sweets lol
I didn’t give my son juice till he was about 1 1/2 yo , I only gave him water and milk. I’m glad I did it that way cause he loves water and prefers it over juice
Yes it has sugar but its refined sugar from fruit. Its different than giving them something like a soda. A little fruit juice once in a while is perfectly fine.
Also, real fruit juice had vitamins and minerals and antioxidants as well. That's more than we can say for a soda. We dont have to go through life only having water. We just need appropriate moderation.

Juice is very high in sugar, if you do give any it has to be in very small amounts. But I think most juices should be safe

I didn’t start giving Damien juice until about a week before he turned one. Only because he was constipated and I had it watered down.
