introducing yogurt?

Hi all,

Does anyone know when you can introduce yogurt to kids? 6 months? 8 months? Wait until a year?

Thanks.

We did it at 6 months. We just do the plain yogurt. I will mix it with ceral, fruit, or even veggies. OR i will serve it alone. Either way, They love it!

 

I did it about 7/8 months. We use Yo Baby yogurt. They love it.

 

I think I remember getting the go ahead for yogurt at 7 months. They have eaten it almost everyday since then.

 

I think I waited til 9 months, but we have milk sensitivities here.

Same here. We now do our own mix of yogurt, applesauce, fruit spread and oatmeal ... cheaper and less sugar since we use 2/3 plain yogurt.

 

We were told 9 months by our pedi. I think I tried around 9 and they did not like it. Around 10 they gobbled it up.

 

This article includes yogurt in food for 8 to 10 month olds. http://www.babycenter.com/0_age-by-age-gui...dInfo%40f50b19f

 

We did 8.5 months. I use the chart on www.wholesomebabyfood.com as a guideline for introducing new foods. We use the plain yogurt and mix in a fruit and some oatmeal to help with the consistency.

We started at 8mo and they took to it immediately! I just buy plain, whole milk yogurt and mix it with my own fruit purees, veggies, grains, just about anything you can think of. They've had Yo Baby a few times and LOVED it, but there's a lot of sugar in that stuff.

 

My friend's pedi said it was fine at 6 months (her baby had a yeast infection and he said the yoghurt would help). She did the yo baby yoghurt. I plan to start that soon and my girls are 8 mo.

 

We were given the ok today at our 6 mos appt. As long as there aren't chunks in it that they could choke on.
