No need, but you can: After 6 mths old ; once eating solids, you can give 1:10 diluted juice, at mealtimes only, although babies certainly don't need it. Water is always the best choice as an additional drink to your baby's usual milk. However, if you are bringing up your baby as a vegetarian, giving her fruit juice with meals will help her body absorb the iron from her food. Best!

None: Juice is just sugar and water. If your baby takes adequate formula, she does not need extra vitamin c (most people's reason to give juice). It just promotes a preference for sweet flavors, and can lead to picky eating as a toddler. Think of it as soda pop. She doesn't need that does she? She doesn't need juice either.
