When can babies have juice bit worried

[Cjclc1991]

I made a bottle of squash for my son earlier it was first time trying it it was well watered down but he didn't drink it he is 7 months but 6 months corrected i forgot to tell my partner i had made this and he added his powder milk in with it and fed him with it he is tube fed so all went down the tube ia this okay have been qorrying about it it was few hours ago but didnt realise until i went in the kitchen and realised it had been used

Why does no one on this website use “google” you all ask stupid questions that can be answered in seconds, but would rather wait, sometimes hours, for a stranger to reply, when you could instantly have the advice and expertise of professionals.

In all honesty, because your son is tube fed, I would be calling the health visitor or whoever helps you and ask them about this. Juice or squash is not recommended till' around 8 months.

And even then it's completely unnecessary. Babies don't need it and it's bad for their teeth. The sugar free varieties have nasty additives in them.

Water and milk is all they need.

Kidding are you usually so RUDE??? OP is worried and needed someone to talk to about it. You're not the thread police.

I’d say it’s probably fine. I doubt it’s recommended, but really it’s just some extra sugar as I assume the right ratio of water to powder was used for his milk. At 7 months, presumably he’s eating some solids too so I wouldn’t worry too much about it, BUT I know nothing about tube feeding so if you’re worried you should check.

Your 7 month old does not need squash, water is fine.

Are you serious i did use google but comes up with all sorts would rather ask for actual advice of things people may of experienced i only gave him it to try as for the past few weeks he keeps vomiting and yes before anyone says i have seen someone about this but wanted him to have a drink to get rid of the vomit taste in his mouth he is aloud bottles bit does not drink milk out of a bottle and wouldnt have any water, thank you to those who didn't put stupid answers i will speak to someone tomorrow for advice he seems fine otherwise

If everyone used google there wouldn't be these sites and it gives you the wrong answers or a stupid one do you really have nothing better to do than write stupid comments.

Okay thank you i will ring our community nurse tomorrow

Hey thank you he is on nutriprem 2 powder milk i was litrelly only giving a bit to try because he is really congested and read that water helps but he wouldnt take it he would normally try but been a bit fussy today but then wasnt planning on using it and forgot to tell partner and because it was really watered down he didnt notice it in the bottle and thought it was ready for his milk

I imagine it will be fine, it just sugary water after all. Its not something I would recommend often but as a one off i would think its fine. If it was salt it would have been a problem.

Maybe get a coloured bottle or cup for anything non water to save confusion in future.

fyi if you need help with constipation I would try a little pure apple juice with water, and see if he will sip from a regular cup. or pear puree is supposed to be good

Thank you

Thank you no one seems worried about the drink but he had a poo yesterday it was brown and orangey red sorry if it Tmi so just waiting for an appointment about that but it hasn't done it since so hopefully was nothing

@areyoukiddingme it's idiots like you who make me really dislike this site sometimes
