For each young mom the long-awaited firstborn is not only joy, but also numerous questions, answers to which sometimes could not be learned. Some parents are disturbed by a question of whether it is worth giving to the kid in four months apples.
Apple juice - first of all

Try to offer the kid several drops of apple juice. It is better to make it till a lunch, hours at 11-12. Observe reaction of an organism: if there is rash, gastric frustration, unusual behavior – more you should not experiment so far.
If reaction of the child does not cause concern, it is possible to increase a juice dosage by two-three droplets of times in four days, slowly bringing it to volume of 50 ml.
