Expert Advice for Toddler

My daughter is 21 months old. Besides apple juice, what other juice is safe for her to drink at this age?

- Daisy, El Cerrito, CA

Dr. Yinka Davies, Pediatrician, Mother of Two, says:

It is important to know when shopping for juice how to interpret labels. In order for a product to be labeled juice it must contain 100% juice. If a product has less than 100% juice it will be labeled as either a 'beverage', 'drink' or 'cocktail'. Only pasteurized juice is safe for infants, children and adolescents. Unpasteurized juice may contain bacteria such as E.Coli, Salmonella and Cryptosporidium. Following these guidelines will now open the door and allow you to enjoy a variety of other juices.
