1. **Apple Juice**: Dilute it with water to reduce the sugar content.
2. **Orange Juice**: Ensure it's fresh and not too acidic. Diluting it can also help.
3. **Carrot Juice**: Packed with nutrients and usually gentle on the stomach.
4. **Pear Juice**: Mild and good for digestion.
5. **Watermelon Juice**: Refreshing and hydrating.
**Tips for giving juice to a toddler**:
- **Moderation**: Limit juice intake to no more than 4 ounces (about 120 ml) per day to avoid excessive sugar consumption.
- **Dilution**: Dilute juices with water (1 part juice to 2 parts water) to reduce sugar content and make it easier on their digestive system.
- **Variety**: Rotate different juices to provide a range of nutrients.
- **Timing**: Offer juice during meals or snacks rather than as a primary drink to avoid filling them up with juice instead of more nutrient-dense foods.
- **Whole Fruits**: Whenever possible, prioritize whole fruits over juices to provide fiber and other essential nutrients.
Always ensure the juices are freshly made and free from added sugars and preservatives.
