1. At what age can I begin serving NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE to my child?
The best time for your child to start drinking fruit juice is when he or she is ready to start drinking from a cup. This typically happens around 6 to 8 months of age.
TO INTRODUCE THAT FIRST SIP OF JUICE TO YOUR BABY:
Start with a diluted, gentle, non-acidic juice like apple. Measure 2 to 4 ounces of juice into a sippy cup. Limit the total amount of juice to no more than 4 ounces per day. Dilute the juice using the 1.1 ratio; one part water and one part juice. Remember, your baby’s primary source of nutrition is still breastmilk or formula.
Wait at least one week before offering a different fruit juice to make sure your baby has no allergic reactions. Avoid feeding them juice like orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, and tomato juices before 6 months of age, as those juices are more likely to cause an allergic reaction.
If you are unsure, consult your pediatrician.

24. What is DHA and where does it come from?
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is a type of Omega-3 fatty acid. It is found naturally in most tissues of the body and accounts for up to 20 percent of total brain mass. The DHA in NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE BRAIN DEVELOPMENT Fruit Juice Beverage is derived from highly refined tuna fish oil.
While DHA is naturally found in breast milk, once infants move on to eating more solid foods, primary food sources of DHA include oily fish (like herring, salmon, sardines, rainbow trout, canned tuna), and organ meats. More food products are now being fortified with DHA so that children and adults can benefit from this important nutrient.

25. Why is DHA good for my child?
DHA is a building block for the brain in infants; according to research, DHA may help support early-age brain and eye development.
DHA is naturally found in breast milk, and experts often recommend infant formula fortified with DHA for children who are not breastfeeding. (Kris-Etherton 2007) JUICY JUICE BRAIN DEVELOPMENT Fruit Juice Beverage with DHA is a smart choice for parents who are ready to introduce juice beverages into their baby’s diet.

26. If my child is allergic to fish, will she be allergic to NESTLÉ JUICY JUICE BRAIN DEVELOPMENT Fruit Juice Beverage?
Allergic reactions are caused by certain proteins in foods. In making highly refined oils, the vast majority of proteins, if not all, are removed. According to allergen experts, the risk of getting an allergic reaction from highly refined oils of allergenic foods is very low. So, the fish-allergic consumer likely can safely consume this product, however we recommend that you discuss with your pediatrician if there are concerns.

27. Is there such a thing as too much DHA?
Adequate intake of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the parent compound of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for kids ranges from 500 mg per day for infants to 1600 mg per day for teen-aged boys. Because the US population generally consume lower intakes of fish (and hence DHA) compared to populations in some other countries, it is unlikely that one will get too much DHA in the diet.

28. My kids like eating fish. Do they need more DHA?
Health authorities recommend eating two to three fish meals weekly for overall health. For variety in the diet, it may be advantageous to get DHA from various food sources. JUICY JUICE BRAIN DEVELOPMENT Fruit Juice Beverage is a kid-friendly juice beverage which provides 16mg of DHA per 4 fl. oz. serving.
