Carrot Juice For Babies
Carrot juice makes an excellent first juice for babies. It is low in acid making it gentle on baby's tummy. It is sweet but lower in sugar than most fruit juices.
The juice can be purchased pre prepared for babies, but mixing it yourself is easy and inexpensive. Mix the carrot juice with sterilized water. A ratio of half water and half juice is a good starting mixture. If the juice becomes unpalatable for the baby change the dilution to one third water and see if this helps. When babies are young the juice should be served slightly warm. Older babies can accept carrot juice at room temperature.
Always rinse carrot juice bottles immediately after use as the orange colour can stain the teat.
