New Guidelines on fruit juice intake for children by the American Academy of
Pediatrics: Juice should not be introduced into the diet of infants before 12 months of age unless clinically indicated.
Intake of juice should be limited to, at most, 4 oz/day in toddlers 1-3 yr of age, and 4-6 oz/day for children 4-6 yr of age.
For children 7- 18 yr of age, juice intake should be limited to 8 oz or 1 cup of the recommended 2-2.5 cups of fruit servings per day.
Toddlers should not be given juice from bottles or easily transportable covered cups that allow them to consume juice easily throughout the day. Toddlers should not be given juice at bedtime.
Children should be encouraged to eat whole fruit to meet their recommended daily fruit intake.
To satisfy fluid requirements, human milk and/or infant formula is sufficient for infants, and low-fat/nonfat milk and water are sufficient for older children.
Consumption of unpasteurized juice products should be strongly discouraged in infants, children, and adolescents.
