What is the safe age to provide orange juice to your child? He is 6 months old currently.

Try to avoid acidic, citrus fruits until 1. Orange can cause throat irritation, if you would still like to let your child try it, make sure they drink plenty of water after. Do not give lemon slices directly to your child, even if he or she is 1, 2 or even older. One of the reasons being, the ascorbic acid in lemon can damage the enamel on the teeth and increases tooth sensitivity.
