Can an 18-month-old baby drink orange juice?

An 18-month-old can drink orange juice, but there are important considerations. Fruit juice is not a substitute for the fruit itself — without pulp, fiber is lost and blood sugar spikes quickly. For this reason, portions should be limited: no more than 120 ml per day (about one teacup), preferably with meals and diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio. Don't give it on an empty stomach, in a bottle, or allow sipping throughout the day — there's a risk of tooth decay and unnecessary calories. The best approach is to make water and milk your baby's habits while thinking of orange juice as an occasional treat. Make sure it's freshly squeezed with no added sugar.
