How many months can babies eat yogurt?
- According to most research experts, 6 months old is the appropriate age to start introducing children to ice cream and yogurt. This is a good age when most babies begin to eat solid foods, and yogurt will help improve their digestive system.
- Additionally, two authors, Karin Knight (a nurse) and Tina Ruggiero (a nutritionist) of the book The Best Homemade Baby Food on the Planet, also advises mothers to give yogurt to infants because it is rich in protein, contains calcium, potassium, vitamin B-12, and magnesium.
Notes when making gelatin yogurt for babies
- In this recipe, you can use organic gelatin purchased from supermarkets for mothers and babies, baking supply stores, or reputable e-commerce sites to ensure better health for the baby.
- Do not use any seasonings including sugar and salt during the yogurt-making process for babies under 1 year old. Because at this age, your little one will not be able to excrete these two seasonings.
- Furthermore, while feeding your baby, you should feed them a little at first to observe if there are any signs of allergies or indigestion. If not, you can continue to feed them normally; otherwise, it’s best not to continue feeding.
- Since at the age of 6 months and older, the baby’s digestive system is still weak, it needs time to adapt to new foods. Therefore, when feeding your baby, you should do it slowly!
