was constipation ... Now, Did my yogurt come out right?

[Guest guest]

Thanks Patti. You're right. I needed someone to tell me I'm doing the right

thing, by

not giving him the raw stuff yet. I gave him less than 1/2 teas of my first

batch of

yogurt this morn. He wasn't crazy about the tart taste, but I loved it.

Today I will try appleasuce with cooked apples and see if he will accept that.

(he's

never liked applesauce before). Any other suggestions are much appreciated to

vary

his diet in this intro phase. What other cooked veggies and fruits do kids tend

to go

for at the beginning?

I hope the yogurt came out right. It was a little clumpier than I expected. I

pouredd

off the watery part on top. It tasted good and tart, so I assume it is right. I

began with

whole raw organic cow's milk, and the same starter that Lucy sells.

I'm going to order Lucy's starter kit with the 2 quart maker.

Thanks, A
