Question
My child has been crying and fussy lately, and their appetite isn’t good. I want to know at what age a baby can start drinking juice?
Answer
Hello! Generally, babies over four months old can start introducing juice. You can mash fresh seasonal fruits and then feed them with a spoon. If your baby is not accustomed to the taste of juice, you can first dilute it with some warm water before gradually increasing the concentration of the juice. Feeding with a bottle is also a good method; your baby might resist at first, but they will soon get used to it. Remember to wash the fruit thoroughly before giving your baby juice to avoid any pesticide residue. Juice helps prevent constipation in babies, but if your baby doesn’t want to drink it, don’t force them. You can start by giving them a little less each time and gradually get them accustomed to it.
