At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
I know the answer is probably yes, but can someone give me some tips and pointers? How much? 100% juice? What kind? Do you dilute it? Cup or bottle?
Thanks in advance.

Re: At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
DS is 7 1/2 months old and we give him juice. He doesn't get it every day, but enough. We usually give it to him with his lunch...2 oz juice, 2 oz water. He didn't want the sippy cup at first, so we did it in the bottle. But now he's getting used to the sippy.

Re: At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
In general, it is reccomended that kids have no more than lie 5 oz of juice a day (that # may not be totally correct), but in any case it should be a small amount. Jack is 2 and I still dilute his juice with 50% water. At 8 monhts I'd put the juice in a sippy.

No. I am seeing my doctor next week, but as of yet- no. I don't see why I would. I would rather give her water and fruit. Juice here just has too much sugar.

Re: At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
don't want to start controversy - and I'm really asking b/c I don't know. Why give them juice that young? What is the point of it? Is it to get them to drink out of the sippy? My son is 6 months - doctor told me he won't really use the sippy until 9 months. When do you introduce water?

Re: At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
I don't know either, that's why I ask. I'm totally okay with no juice either, but I feel like all my kid gets is milk. She's a very bad eater, probably the worst in the world. We're lucky if she takes 4 oz. of solids a day.

Re: At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
No juice either for my 8.5 month old. Just water in her sippy and formula to drink. I got the okay from PED, and i still won't do it. She doesn't need additional sugar, even if it's watered down. I don't want her to get used to sweet drinks.
I drink juice with 25% juice and 75% water in my own glass. Plenty of time for juices down the road :)

Re: At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
Yes, we started around then, just a splash in her water... I found that she actually drank much more that way. Now at 10 months she gets maybe 2-4 oz/day, it isn't going to kill her. And she is not overweight by any means so it's ok by me.

Re: At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
Nope I didn't until very recently (20 months). Theres no need for it. I only started at the doctor's suggestion to mix with a medicine she needed.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. Of not introducing juice until after DS's first birthday. I don't see the need to do it now either.

Re: At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
Ava's a little over 7 months old, but I do not give her juice. The only time is if she's constipated. I'd rather her drink water since babies don't need juice.

Re: At 8 months, do you give your kid juice?
DD is almost 9 months old and she has only had juice 3 or 4 times, when she was constipated. And even then, it was only 50% juice, and 50% water.
