Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Juice = Diaper Rash?

My little one is 10 months old.... I've started giving her juice so she can get used to a sippy cup.I usually give her about 2 oz. Banana/Apple juice and 2-3 oz of water to dilute it.  Well she has gotten a really bad diaper rash, and I'm wondering if it's from the juice.....anyone else experience this?

  • We did so we stopped juice and waited a couple weeks before trying again. ?Now we only use a splash of juice and the rest water. Also, my friend's DD had an allergy to red dye and she was surprised to find it in juice marked for babies. I think gerber is safe though.?

  • All juice has a high acid content.
    So yes, she will experience more diaper rash.

    Its hard to catch dirty diaper as they happen, but the longer it sits on her bottom the worse it will get.
    It usually has nothing to do with the brand or type of juice.
  • Have you just tried giving her water in her cup? ?Lily LOVES water. ?The couple of times I have tried to give her juice mixed with water (for constipation) she just threw it up. ?

  • Thanks for the replies... I think I will try just water for a while. It also doesn't help that almost EVERY diaper she has is dirty....we change her really often to try and prevent it from getting any worse.
