[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These responses are quite rude. Keep offering the baby water. I always had a sippy cup of water around and eventually the baby started reaching for it.

He's now 13 months and we give him whole milk and juice. I buy the 100% fruit juice with no sugar added. He drinks sippy cups that are 2/3 juice and 1/3 water and loves it. [/quote]

While I agree there is no need to be rude, I think this is bad advice. Don't get your kids juice other than as an occasional treat. Or course they love it. It is very sweet. [/quote]

I agree there is no need to be rude, but please don't give your 7-month-old juice.  Of course the above PP's son loves juice!  Who wouldn't?  His dentist will love it, too!![/quote]

PP. The pediatrician and dentist both said juice is fine in moderation. So does the Mayo Clinic. His teeth and gums are brushed daily. Juice is FINE.

I read this.  It says no juice before 6 months.  OP's baby is barely over that.  Then 4 ounces of juice max at OP's baby's age, and not in a bottle.  It also says:  Juice lacks the fiber of whole fruit, however, and can be consumed more quickly. Although a reasonable amount of fruit juice each day is fine for most children, remember that whole fruit is an even better option.
