Research suggests it may be a better first juice for babies
Medical research suggests that 100% White Grape Juice, such as Welch's, is the right choice for your baby's first juice because it's easier to digest than other popular juices. |
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting until infants are six months old before introducing pasteurized 100% juice. Traditionally, apple and pear juice have been recommended as the first juices to introduce to babies. Yet, research suggests that not all juices are the same.

100% White Grape Juice is the Gentle Juice
|
| According to recent medical studies, 100% white grape juice, such as Welch's, is the clear first juice choice for infants and toddlers because it's easier to digest than either apple or pear juice. One reason it is easily digested is because 100% white grape juice does not contain sorbitol (a hard-to-digest sugar-like compound). Both pear and apple juice contain sorbitol. Another reason 100% white grape juice is more easily digested is due to its carbohydrate, or natural sugar, profile. Unlike apple and pear juice, 100% white grape juice has an even balance of fructose and glucose (two easy-to-digest natural sugars). The presence of sorbitol and unbalanced levels of fructose in a juice may lead to gas, intestinal discomfort, and even diarrhea. |
The bottom line is healthy: Welch's White 100% Grape Juice is easier
for babies to digest than other popular juices.
