At what age can my son have juice ?

Question

Answer

I would not do juice at all. It is mostly sugar. Water and fresh fruit are better. Thereis no need to introduce sugary drinks.

Answer

I would avoid juice even in a juicer unless your LO is sick or constipated. Juice is just unnecessary sugar whether you juiced it yourself or not. 
I have a 4 y/o, 3 y/o, and 1 y/o. I never give juice just to give juice. The 4 and 3 y/os have had pear juice for constipation before and have had apple juice when they were sick and not drinking enough water. So juice maybe twice a year or so. My 1 y/o has only had juice once when he had a cold that gave him a double ear infection and he didn't want his water.

Answer

I'm a hygienist. No juice! NOT EVEN 100% JUICE! Natural sugars are sugars! I've seen it do terrible things, like 3 year olds needing extractions. Plus its setting your child up to have palate for high sugar drinks in general. I believe its recommended to wait at least  until age 2. I personally will be waiting longer than that and will decide when exactly depending on how my daughter's dental health is looking. Fruit in solid form is much better on the teeth.

Id start at a year. Before a year its about getting them use to trying foods and getting their gag reflex in and such so id wait for the yesr when u start milk and there drinkkng more water. But it wouldnt hurt them between 6 months and a year

Answer

Anytime after 6 months. You should always use 100% juice and dilute it with water if you really want to introduce juice!

Answer

We started at about 2.5 years old. We juice oranges and dilute it. Not often. Our son drinks mostly water.

Answer

Not until 2yrs old. It is all sugar!! Drs and dentists even suggest not giving it at all. AAP even say not to give juice under 1yr old.

Answer

We started giving my son juice around 1.5. He was actually sick with the stomach flu and he was extremely dehydrated so he wasn’t acting normal, but he refused regular water or milk so I put a small amount of apple juice in his water and after that he started to magically recover from his dehydration. I usually give him plain water, but when he does ask for juice I give him 90% water and 10% juice then mix it up. He’s almost 4 now and he’s very healthy.
