apple juice 4 months old

I haven’t heard anything about it

I had gave my 3 month old 1oz apple juice mixed w 1 oz water for constipation it works so well

Our pediatrician told us to wait for foods till 6 months, and juices 12 months, but everyone is different

My pediatrician said stay away from juice for as long as possible. Do you know why they recommended it?

I work in pediatrics all parents are told to wait until about the 6 month mark just to be safe. Giving the baby water before then could lead to water intoxication due to their baby kidneys not being developed all the way to filter out anything but their milk.

I’m not sure why your pediatrician is recommending this, but if you trust them and your gut is telling you it’s okay then you can give it. Always trust your gut though. If it feels off or wrong don’t do it.

We started giving my daughter juice at 6 months old because she was having bad constipation. Even now at 17 months juice is the only thing that keeps her regular. No matter how much fiber, water, fruits, etc. we give her she’s always constipated unless she has juice.

Maybe water before juice😭 that’s weird. Even then I would wait till at least 6 months for water.

For a 4 month old?? No. Water first at 6 months and then juice. Best to put off juice for as long as possible coz it’s not the best for youngsters

Not apple juice but at my son’s 4month check up last week his pediatrician said we can start giving him purées which I thought was super weird since with my other 2 children I was always told to wait minimum until they where 6 months old!

Why would he recommend you that? Juices are not healthy in any ways and that wouldn't be something that could be recommended for adults and bigger kids. Not even thinking why a 4 months old would have juice. Please don't do that and change the doctor.

we were recommended this for severe constipation. i wouldn’t give her it for any other reason, especially at that age, and until now she’s only had water and milk apart from that day or two she had juice x

I know you are based in the US but over here we definitely don’t give babies under 6m water but if it’s available in the US try adding gripe water into your babies milk that really helped my daughter!

We were recommended half an ounce of prune juice either in his bottle or mixed half an ounce of distilled water daily to help with severe constipation issues in my son. He's 5 and a half months old now, and does great as long as he has that. But that's the only reason I would give it to them so young.

We used it at 3 months when she was constipated. But it was heavily diluted. When did 1 oz juice and like 3-5 oz water. We still dilute her juice at 18 months

My pediatrician recommends no juice before 2-3 because of the sugar content but if it was for a specific medical reason (constipation etc) then I would but if not I would seek another opinion!

My little one is almost 27 months old and she has never even had one sip of juice, only water and milk

My daughter is gonna be 2 years old next month and I still don’t do juice with her

They said I could free it for teething baby but she recommended sip of water
