Hi
Welcome to the HCM
You may give any fruit juice but prefer citrus fruit juices as they are rich in vitamin C which helps in respiratory infections. Fruits are better than juices as they also give fibres which help in peristalsis. 1-2 glass of juice is enough for a day. Excess juice may lead to loose poops. 2-3 glasses of milk and 4-5 bowls of complementary feeds are recommended at this age.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
