The American Academy of Pediatrics has extended its recommendation against offering juice to all infants from 6 months and younger to 12 months and under. Toddlers should be given no more that 4 oz (120 ml) of 100% juice; children 4-6 years old no more than 6 oz (180 ml) and 7-18 years no more than 8 oz (235 ml).
LifeTip: Parents and grandparents need to be aware of the impact juice can have on the weight infants and children. Watch “Lose Weight Naturally” with Dr. David DeRose for more recommendations.
