Patient's question:
My baby is now less than two months old. I want to ask when she can drink honey (how much honey can she drink a day~ and how to mix it with water). When can she drink juice (how much juice can she drink a day~ if mixed with water~ what is the ratio)? When can she drink vegetable juice (how to drink it~ how much can she drink a day~ if mixed with water~ what is the ratio)?Doctor's answer:
Honey water should not be consumed excessively because it is beneficial for constipation. A baby's gastrointestinal function is not fully developed, so it is not advisable to give it to them. Juice is acceptable, but it should not be consumed in large quantities—15 milliliters is recommended. Wash the fruits thoroughly, cut them into small pieces, and boil the water. Add the fruits and cook them for a longer time. Vegetable juice can be given to the baby starting from the third month, as adding complementary foods too early may have the opposite effect.
