For infants, juices are perhaps one of the components of a balanced and correct diet, but when to start introducing them to infants, there are several opinions. I decided to write an article and find out right then when you can?
The pediatricians of the old “hardening” are offered to introduce the first juice already in the third month of the child’s life. They motivate this by the fact that even a drop of fruit juice can completely compensate for all minerals and vitamins that are missing for the development of the baby.
The enemy of the early introduction of drinks says that it is because juices for babies are extremely concentrated and should not be given early.
Regardless of what kind of juice it is, apple or carrot, we see a blow to the still imperfect digestive system of the child. And this entails various ailments, starting from a stool disorder and ending with enzyme failure.
That’s why it is better for the child to introduce juices as later as possible, up to one -year -old.
In particular, it is worth postponing juices to those whose child suffers from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. However, the decisions in this case should make a mother, of course, after consulting a doctor.
Introduce complementary foods, regardless of the deadlines, you should start with neutral juices, such as pear or apple.
Due to the risk of allergic reactions, in no case should you give the child juices from bright fruits and berries. This applies to juices such as strawberry, cherry, all types of citrus fruits and pumpkin. The child’s diet is replenished later by these drinks after his digestive system will in strength to digest all their components.
