As I'm nomail at the moment, I'm not sure if the URL for the AAP's recent statement cautioning on juices. It appeared in Pediatrics 2001 (May);107(5):1210-13. The URL is:
http://aap.org/policy/re0047.html
This is a useful document to have on hand to show colleagues or families who still believe in pushing juices for infants under 6 months, or to give a client to show a health care provider who is pressuring her to give juices inappropriately. It received good press coverage here in Brisbane.
Cheers,
