Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How old does a baby need to be to drink juice?Doctor's answer:
Hello! A four-month-old baby can already be given juice. Blend seasonal fresh fruits and extract the juice. After the baby has a bath or comes back from outside, first let the baby try 1-2 spoons (about 10 ml) of juice. If the baby gets used to it, give them the original juice. If not, add double the amount of cool boiled water to the juice. Once the baby gets used to it, gradually increase the amount. You can use a bottle to feed the juice. At first, the baby might show resistance, but it will improve quickly. The skin of fruits is often contaminated with pesticides, so it's essential to clean them thoroughly. Juice is very effective in preventing infant constipation. If the baby is reluctant to eat, don't force it. Give them a little less each time, and they will get used to it.
