Do you need to mix some warm boiled water when feeding juice to a two-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I want to give juice to my two-month-old child, do I need to mix some warm water?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you should add some boiling water, otherwise the acidity of the fruits is too high. Some juices are too concentrated, and adults cannot drink them without adding water. Because the baby is too young, it is not recommended to add complementary foods. The best time to add supplementary foods is between 4 to 6 months. Otherwise, it will increase the burden on the baby's digestive system. If you have enough milk, you don't need to add anything. If the humidity is not enough, you can add some water for the child. Thank you.
