A member asked:

Can i give sunsweet prune juice to my 2 month old baby? if yes how much quantity per day is safe?is it ok to give only1oz of prune juice at a time

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why would you give?: In general, there is no indication, reason, or need to give any juice to an infant. This may only set himself up for a preference to consume sweetened foods later on. If baby is feeding well - preferably breast milk - and has normal stool output and make plenty of wet diapers, I would refrain from giving juice. There are some doctors who recommend this for mild constipation however.
