When can baby start having juice?
You can start offering small amounts of juice any time after 6 months if baby can drink from a cup. (You never put juice in a bottle.) But baby never really *needs* juice — so if he’ll drink water from the cup, all the better. EDIT: Gerber juice has no less sugar than any other brand — ALL fruit juice (as opposed to ‘juice drinks/beverages/etc.) is pure juice with no added sugar. And it’s recommended to not put juice in a bottle because it’s easy for baby to take too much via the bottle, and the bottle is, essentially, a subsitute for the breast — so it’s for milk. (Applejuice doesn’t spout from your breasts.) Starting juice is part of starting other non-milk foods; it’s about teaching baby a new way of eating/drinking.
