Orange juice

[Anonymous]

Do any of you give your toddlers OJ? Seth got a very small taste of mine this morning and really liked it but I have always been afraid to give it to him because of the reflux. If you do give it, what kind do you use? I saw a kid’s version and a low acid variety at the store this morning. It would great if he could tolerate it for the calcium.

too scared here…

(now at 3 I’m not too scared but we don’t drink juice at home- if jonah gets it at preschool or out & about from another mama, then it’s ok by me)

I’m too scared too…..I know how miserable I am after I have a glass
of orange juice (and I have mild reflux) so I’m worried to give it to
Zach. But….luckily, he loves his milk so we don’t have any
issues with him getting enough calcium. Let us know what you
decide!

Colt got a taste of his dads and loved it but I am to scared. Let us know if you find a good kind for kids. We also don’t do juices in our house.

I started giving Hailey orange juice at a year (the calcium fortified kind) since she couldn’t drink milk and all was fine. She never had any issues from it. I have also never had a problem drinking orange juice (and I have reflux occationally as well), although there are plenty of people who say it really bothers them. The kind I buy is for kids and it’s fortified with calcium and other vitamins. Hailey loves it.

We’ve not done OJ, but while on vacation Kayleigh was eating oranges like there was no end and I saw no problems. Good Luck

Kaelyn loves OJ and plain oranges. They’ve never caused any reflux issues but we limit them because oranges give her diaper rash.

Jason just started OJ and is doing ok so far, although I do water it down a bit (1/3 water, 2/3 OJ)

Good luck!!
