Yogurt for your baby

Yogurt is a yummy food produced by the bacterial fermentation of milk. Cows milk is the most common type of base for yogurt, but milk from water buffalo, goats, ewes and even camels can also be used to make yogurt. Yogurt can be a yummy and healthy first food for baby, full of calcium they’ll need for strong bones!

While there is no great magical mystery in Yogurt or Cheese, the most common reasons for yogurt and cheese being fine to introduce to a baby prior to the age of 1 year old are:

• Unlike Whole Cow Milk , your baby is not at risk of formula/breast milk being replaced by Yogurt or Cheese.
• The medical community worries that if Whole Cow milk is introduced to an infant prior to 1 year old, that parents would stop formula and/or breastfeeding and use Milk as the replacement. This would possibly be dangerous to your baby’s health! They, however, neglect to specify the difference between baby drinking milk and eating yogurt and/or cheese.
• Lactose is broken down with the culturing of the yogurt or cheese and milk proteins are either semi-removed or limited. The culturing makes yogurt and cheese easier to digest. Many people with lactose intolerance often are be able to eat cheese and/or yogurt without trouble. The same is often true for some people with a milk protein (either to the casein or the whey) allergy.

As long as baby has already had any fruits/veggies that you wish to mix in with Yogurt, you are unlimited in what types of yogurt meals you create.
