Vinitha replied. Hi Mommy ,
I stay in India and I have a 10 month old baby boy . I am giving him orange juice from when he is 6 months old . Infact doctors here advice orange juice as it is rich in Vitamin C . I read in sites that some babies may be allergic to citrus fruits so advice to wait till 1 year . What u can do is ... just try giving 1 ounce with 2 ounces of boiled water for a week . if u don't find any allergic reactions then u can gradually increase juice and reduce water .

Hope this helps
Take Care
Vinitha Jaya replied. Hi mommy:
Doctors here in the US generally advise against giving citrus fruits (lemon, orange, etc.) or their juices to babies less than a year old. The other juices may be okay but it would be good to ask your baby's Pediatrician before that. Regarding time table, in the case of my son (now 19 months old), it has not helped much as he made his own each day:-) so I am not an advocate for a timetable for young babies.

Good Luck!
