how much juice for 10 month old?

roxyrulz512 · October 2010

hi girls... i know i could call the pedi but i dont want them to think im a pain in the ass lol. the dr had said a couple weeks ago at our last visit that if DS' diapers were yellow that he wasnt getting enough fluid and to give him some juice. i didnt ask how much and was wondering what you ladies give to your LOs

TIA

i just give ds water.. my dr actually said that juice is just empty calories and liquid sugar

would your LO take water?

yes he'll def take water! he loves it, so 2-3 oz is ok? even if he's only taking in about 20oz of formula? sorry for all the "stupid" questions. Embarrassed

Noah hates water, which is very normal so I have been told. And I either give him some apple juice (4 oz juice and 3oz water) I just give him little bits here and there. I find if I water it down then he is at least getting some water

that would be fine. I usually offer DS about 3 oz in his sippy a couple times a day. he doesn't normally drink it all but if he wanted to he could

thank you girls!! im going to try the water in the sippy cup first - if he refuses ill def water down the juice and try that. just wasnt sure how many oz was enough..
