So much mixed info on when a baby can have juice. my ped. says 6 mo. is ok if baby is sturdy/holding cup. i've heard others say not until 1 year?

6 months is ok: But you should limit it. It isn't really all that nutritious compared to the formula and other solid food. There is a lot of natural sugar in fruit juices and it can contribute to obesity and tooth decay. If you are going to use it, use it in a cup. Never put it in a bottle and put it in the bed with your child. Best wishes

Juice is over rated: There is no need for an infant to drink juice no matter how organic or natural your juice is . Juice fills up stomach and is a source of "empty calories" especially if your baby is either slow in weight gain or way up there in the growth chart. You should focus on offering baby foods practice spoon feeding , etc Breast milk if nursing or formula should provide enough fluids even in the Summer
