When to start giving baby water and juice
When is it safe for babies to start drinking water and juice?
many parents wonder if it's okay to give
their babies water or juice and this is
a really good question for the first six
months of life all a baby needs is
either formula or breast milk but once
solids are introduced into their diet
usually between four and six months of
age so after six months a baby can have
juice and water just sips just a little
bit and their main form of fluid should
still be either formula or breast milk
until a year of age if you do choose to
give your children juice be sure to give
them only up to four ounces of 100%
juice each day and offer it in a sippy
cup with meals avoid giving it with
bottles or at bedtime because if they
suck on it before they go to sleep it
can lead to tooth decay as for water
sips can be given to your baby in a
sippy cup throughout the day especially
on hot summer days when they're losing
extra fluid through body heat and
sweating talk with your pediatrician
about how much exactly is safe for your
baby depending on their age and weight
