Children under one year of age should never be given fruit juice, say experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics (American Academy of Pediatrics). These drinks negatively affect the weight of the baby, as well as the functioning of his heart and the development of gums..

Until recently, pediatricians claimed that babies could taste fruit juice drinks as early as six months of age.. However, the new recommendation contains a warning for parents that very healthy and healthy at first glance juices actually harm the baby's body in the first year of his life.. Fresh juices contain a fair amount of fiber and vitamins, but they also contain sweeteners, which cause blood glucose levels to rise sharply.. This can lead to obesity in the future, say pediatricians.

Parents should only give fruit juice to their babies if doctors prescribe it to combat constipation, experts say.. And even in this case, we can only talk about 100% fruit juices, but not those that are prepared on the basis of concentrates..

According to pediatricians, the best drink and food for young children is breast milk and water.. From the age of 6 months, complementary foods should be introduced into the child's diet in accordance with the recommendations of the pediatrician..
