    The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued a recommendation about how much juice children should consume. In general, the recommendations might be less than what you are currently giving your child.

An AAP policy statement issued in 2001 recommended no juice for children younger than 6 months of age, 4-6 ounces of juice daily for children aged 1-6, and 8-12 ounces for children 7 or older.

Those recommendations have now been revised partly due to considerable concern about increasing weight and teeth problems.

The new AAP recommendation is that fruit juice should not be provided at all to children under I year of age, instead; water and cow’s milk are preferred as primary liquid sources for children after weaning (断奶).

The new recommendations also lower the amount of juice for older children. Children aged 1-3 can have 4 ounces of 100% juice daily, children aged 4-6 4 to 6 ounces, and children 7 or older 8 ounces.

The AAP says there is no role for juice during the first year of life, and that expensive juice products designed specially for infants (new-born babies) are not of value. They note that juice should not be given as a means of soothing an upset child.

This doesn’t mean that the AAP is against fruit. In fact, they recommend that whole fruit be provided and encouraged for children.

One big advantage of whole fruit is that whole fruit contains fiber. It also contains some protein.

Children aged 4-6 should be offered fruit that has a lot of fiber, such as apples, pears, berries, or oranges. They can also have juice that has fiber in it. Children 7 and older should get a total of 2 to 2 1/2 servings of fruit per day.
