A member asked:

Can i give my 8 week old pear juice?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Why ?: The kid has no biologic need for juices in their lifetime. An 8 wk old has not developed a sense of taste, and does not benefit from the empty sugars in the juice. I might use this in concentrated form to help with constipation at that age but don't recommend it to infants.

Not advised: I would not advise giving pear juice at this age. At four months a little bit of juice may be added to mix with cereal, but formula/milk is preferable.
