I really wanted to wait to introduce juice as long as possible, but LO (7.5 months) has a #2 problem...so we're ordered to do prune juice. So I started giving her prune juice and she loves it! It is the ONLY thing she'll take from a bottle, go figure.
I tried some white grape the other day and she wasn't as big a fan.
I generally do 1:4 juice:water.
What juices did you introduce?

We tried prune and pear to help with constipation once or twice. She won't drink it. She prefers plain water.

I haven't given her any juice at all, I just give her pureed pears and peaches for constipation.

LO hasnt had any juice yet except when I cut up grapes for her and there is juice at the bottom of the bowl.
For constipation I just give her prunes cut up into the size of raisins and also pear puree

I had to introduce juice at 1 year because LO has to take iron drops. Her pediatrician recommended diluted OJ or mango, (both of which LO hates).

Right now, she has her sippy cup with apple juice and water during lunch (about a 1:4 ratio like you). I wanted her to just drink water but she's not a huge fan. Lunch is also when we practice table foods since she's not great with those yet and since she still gets choked up and gags, she needs something to wash it down. We've had a few incidents where she choked so much she threw up so I'm trying to avoid that. At any other point though, she just gets water when practicing with her sippy cup.

We haven't introduced juice yet. But I'm subscribing since we will be introducing it after LO is 1.
