by KalebsMommee on Nov. 22, 2008 at 7:54 PMYea 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. ![]() |

by autumns_mom22 on Nov. 22, 2008 at 7:58 PMMine 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.

by iamhis0 on Nov. 22, 2008 at 7:58 PMCan they? Yes. Should they? I would say no. Juice really is unnecessary, and even 100% juice is sugar laden.

by autumnsmommy02 on Nov. 22, 2008 at 8:49 PMI 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! |
