Q:My daughter is 12 months old -- is it okay to give her orange juice?
A: Because many young babies are sensitive to orange juice and other citrus fruits due to their acidity, it is best to delay the introduction of these foods until they are 7 or 8 months old. However, by 12 months, your daughter is likely ready to try orange juice.
