Yea they can  but only in small amounts and it needs to be diluted mostly water to a little bit of juice. I think my son first got juice around 6 months old put it was like 1 part juice to like 4 parts water.

I do the same thing. Just a little juice(100%) & mostly water.

I started around 6 months or so to give my daughter juice...4oz-5oz water and 4oz juice.

I didn't give my daughter juice till she was almost a year and a half.But if you are going to, dilute it.

Mine started juice around five months. I only give her a little bit and I don't dilute it. Mostly cause she has been having some constipation problems.

Can they? Yes. Should they? I would say no. Juice really is unnecessary, and even 100% juice is sugar laden. A baby needs only breast milk/formula for the first year.

I just started to give my son diluted apple juice today because he's almost 6 mos. and we started him on cereals and it's constipating him. The dr. told me I can give 2-4 oz. of juice a day. So today I just mixed 2 oz. water w/  2 oz. of juice and he loves it!
