Giving fruit juice to a 10-month-old is generally not recommended by pediatricians. At this age, your baby's fluid needs are met by breast milk or follow-up formula. Fruit juice has a high sugar concentration (once the fiber is removed) and can: reduce appetite for more nutritious foods, increase cavity risk, and cause diarrhea. The healthiest option is to offer whole fruit as a puree or soft pieces. If juice must be given (for example, on a doctor's recommendation for constipation), limit to no more than 60-120 ml daily, serve with meals (never alone), and always consult your pediatrician first rather than deciding on your own.
