Hi there,

My son is 6 months and has been eating a variety of fruits and

veggies and cereals. He is a great eater. My question is, when is

it okay to introduce yogurt? Thanks in advance!! Lori

the fruit kind mixed with rice cereal flakes.

It is a kind of personal thing. The AAP recommends 1 year. Most doctors and

say, WIC, will say if there is no history of allergy then 7-9 mo is fine.

My little guy is only 4 months, so I haven't really thought about it yet.

However, don't they say to wait and introduce reg. milk at one year. I would

think yogurt would be the same since it is made with milk. Just a thought, but

like I said, I don't have any experience with this yet!

They say that milk shouldn't be introduced until a year as a main food source.

Milk just doesn't have the right balance of nutrients like breast milk or

formula have. I personally think, many are scared into thinking any milk at all

will harm the baby before a year. I have introduce milk products, yogurt,

cottage cheese, etc., at about nine months. It may not be right, but my kids

are still alive. Anyway, that's just what I think.

I believe yogurt is different than whole milk as the proteins etc are

different. I started giving my girls yogurt around 6-7 months and they

were fine but I just followed what I felt was best for my girls. It

worked out best that way for our family.

not till 12 months old... it has milk in it and they are not supposed to drink

milk till they are 12 months old... if you are in the US... they have yogurt for

babies at walmart... it's made with whole milk instead of 2% and it has less

sugar but more fat than regular yogurt... it's called " YoBaby " .. and that's not

a joke... lol... but it comes in 3 flavors, apple and cereal, vanilla, and

banana... and grace just loves it... she eats 2 a day... just a tip for later!!

Still alive... that cracked me up! Thanks for the yogurt advice!!! Lori

[Guest guest]

Yogurt is NOT the same as milk...the proteins and such are different

(milder)...babies can start yogurt at around 7 months, basically

after they've already been introduced to a variety of other foods

(unless there are allergy issues). But formula or breastmilk should

be the major nutrition until at least 1 year of age, and then whole

milk can be introduced. The YoBaby is good for little ones, it's

also thicker than regular yogurt--more like a Stage 2 or 3 baby

food, without chunks.

Thought I would chime in-

Dairy products are fine for older babies under 12mos. They are an

awesome source of protein and fat, essential for brain development.

Cow milk is off limits because it contains proteins that are not

able to be broken down by an immature digestive system. Processed

dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, ice cream etc. contain

protiens that are already partailly broken down and are a wonderful

addition to baby's expanding menu.

Nothing " magical " happens the day of baby's first birthday where all

of a sudden their intestines can now break down cow milk. Every

child is different. A good way to introduce any food to baby's diet

it to simpy try it- if it dosn't work, back off and try again later.

If they get a tummy ache or diareaha wait a few weeks and introduce

it again. If they tolerate it just fine then you get the benifit of

a wider veriety of foods which is always more healthful. My own

children have had a large variety of foods offered from the very

beginning and are both very good eaters. I am convinced that narrow

restrictive diets while babies are learning to eat lead to picky

eating habits later on.

i was breastfeeding grace and i am a big cereal eater... and she had horrible

diareaha... when i went to the dr they told me to stop all dairy products for me

and see if that made a difference.. they told me that she may not be able to

tollerate the milk protein.. i thought that was crazy but tried it... and within

24 hours her diareaha stopped and she was fine... it was amazing... almost

killed me though... lol.. i started eating dairy again 3 months later and she

was fine... just thought that may help some one out there... i thought it was

very interesting myself...

chiming in here as well... the same thing happened to us when Emma was a

baby. She developed eczema and even had blood in her stools when she was 3

months old & we were at the RMH in Iowa. I went off *all* dairy for a year.

A great way to slim down (with calcium supplements!) but the black coffees

were hard to take.
