Juices must be introduced into the child's diet, because they are rich in vitamins, minerals and substances that are absent in some other products.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that the introduction of juices into the child's diet begins only after reaching the age of six months, and you need to try with small doses of about 5 ml, gradually increasing the portion to 50 ml by 6, 5 months and 100 ml by the year. However, even this amount of the product should be drunk in several doses per day.
Step 2
For baby food, you can use freshly made juices or an industrial product, although the former will still be safer. Start giving your child mono-ingredient drinks, so you can understand what exactly he has an allergic reaction to. Once you understand which fruits are right for your baby's nutrition, you can give him multi-component juices, which include several fruits at once.
Step 3
If your toddler is under a year old, avoid juices made with added sugar. The very first drink your baby should master is apple juice, and it is better to choose fruits of not too acidic yellow-green varieties. In addition, you can start the introduction of such complementary foods with pear or pumpkin juices, since they, too, most likely, will not cause an allergic reaction in the baby. Such drinks increase appetite and improve digestion. Pear juice contains folic acid, fiber, cobalt, magnesium, phosphorus, and many other nutrients.
Step 4
After a while, you can try juices made from fruits such as plum, peach, cherry, banana, raspberry, apricot, as well as black currant. Too acidic juices are best diluted with boiled water. If your child has an unstable stool, drinks like blackcurrant, pomegranate, or cherry may work.
Step 5
Most often, the negative reaction of the child's body manifests itself after eating tomato or grape juice, so you need to introduce them into baby foods no earlier than your child is one year old. The same products include juices from wild berries. In addition, juices made from citrus fruits or strawberries are allergenic, so you can give them to your baby for 8 or 9 months.
Step 6
Carrot-apricot juice is indicated for children suffering from constipation, as it contains too much fiber, pectin and dietary fiber. These substances improve digestion and relieve babies from a similar problem. In addition, this drink promotes the production of vitamin A in the body.
