Vinegar is generally okay to add to baby's meals from around 12 months. Since its flavor is strong, add no more than a teaspoon to a meal, and mix it in while cooking.
Pickle juice, on the other hand, is essentially off-limits. Pickle juice contains excess salt and often other additives beyond vinegar; babies' kidneys aren't ready to process high sodium. It can cause constipation, stomach irritation, or even minor blood pressure fluctuations. Avoiding pickle juice until at least age 2 is safest.
