New mommy and so excited!

Do you give your baby pear or apple juice??? and how much?

Pear and white grape juice. We give DS a few ounces in his sippy probably 3 or 4 times a week.

My pedi said it was fine at this point, but I haven't yet.  My friend recommended to wait as long as possible before giving juice b/c her sons won't drink milk or water very easily--they only want juice.

Only once. I think she's a little too young to get juice. Plus she's never been a huge eater, so I want to reserve her appetite for things with nutritious value.

Nope, we have never done any kind of juice for her.  I didn't talk to the pedi about it at her 6 month, and I haven't really seen a need, so we haven't started yet.

No, I have some at home in case he gets really really constipated, but wouldn't use it for any other reason.

We do give her apple juice here and there, diluted with water of course.

I do pear juice every once and a while to help keep her regular.  If she is really bad, I give her a few spoonfuls, but that hasn't been the case in a long time.  Now, I give 1/2 water and 1/2 juice if needed.  Otherwise she gets water.

Another option if you are giving juice for constipation- stir it into food.  That way they are getting it and you don't really have to worry about them not drinking water.

The pedi told me to give her some becuase of she was a little bit constipated..... i do give her water
