Many moms want to introduce juice to their babies and I dont understand why. First of all, most of the juices I see parents give are not really juice but a juice drink - Kool-aid and Hi-C punch are NOT juice!
I would much prefer my child to get their nutrition from milk/formula or actual fruits. Maybe when Genevieve is older I will give her juice, but its not a needed for nutrition and its full of sugar.
