Are packaged fruit juices good for babies?
YOu need to make sure that any juice you give is 100% juice. The only ingredients should be juice and possibly water and citric acid (vitiman C). There are plenty adult brands that meet this standard, just make sure to read the pkg. OJ is probably not a great choice for your baby because it is very acidic and usually not recommended until at least 1 year. Popular baby juices are white grape and apple, and sometimes prune, lol. More and more, drs are encouraging parents to give water in sippy cups nstead of juice, since juice is sugary and not very nutrient dense. An actual piece of fruit is usually much better for your little one, as it has fiber and more nutrients in the same amount. If you do want to give juice, you should water it down at least 1 to 1.
