Juice

I do give pure fruit juice (usually apple) with 50/50 water to juice once in a while, like maybe once a week.
I give my daughter some juice to help with constipation she’s 6 months old she loves it 😂, she’s also a chunker so she will eat anything in sight, she loves her purées
@joneisha Giving any kind of juice to babies under 12 months is not recommended. Juice offers no nutritional benefits and drinking it may lead to tooth decay or weight gain in the future. Once your baby is 12 months or older, giving them water or milk is more beneficial. Not a good idea to give your 6 month old juice 🤦🏻♀️
Our son didn't get anything until after 2. He literally gets a little carton of apple juice with a kids meal and that's only maybe once every few months. We have "special water" which is the water fruit shoots with flavouring but don't do normal fruit shoot or juice. I figure the longer he's a fan of just water the better. He has tried juice at parties but isn't a fan.
I gave my kid small amounts of watered down apple juice when switching from purees and cereals (which he had started at 4 months) to BLW solids at around 6 months to help with constipation as he adjusted (per doctors recommendation.) Only ever 100% fruit juices and small amounts at once. Now that he's almost 11 months he'll have half and half fruit juice on days where he needs more than just his bottles to stay hydrated, so any day where it's very hot, or the foods he has that day are quite dry, etc. And he's had apple, pineapple, passionfruit, orange, and lemon juice, always 100% pure juice. Kid love citrus though, and would just eat a lemon whole, skin and all if I let him
I was giving my baby “juice” when she started solids, around 6m. We would put fruit in her water like berries, lemons, or oranges. I’ve also seen people do cucumbers and other mixes for more natural alternatives to juices.
Thank you everyone! Just something that got brought up in conversation and giving my little one juice hadn’t crossed my mind before 😂😅
It wasn’t until 2 years old when I was potty training and I just gave it in a normal cup. But it was 90% water with a dash of juice to give it flavor. He thinks that’s what juice is 😂 but I introduced capri sun at 2 1/2 due to just being with friends and at events. Now I’ll give him one every once in a blue moon.
