We started at 7 months (adjusted). DS LOVES yogurt!!
We buy the big container of Stonyfield Farms Organic Whole Milk Plain Yogurt. It is so much less expensive than the YoBaby individual containers (so expensive) and I mix it with whatever fruit puree I feel like so he gets a big variety.
This morning I mixed it with Earth's Best stage 2 Pumpkin Apple puree and sometimes if he is being a fussy eater during the day I give it to him at night and add in a few teaspoons of rice cereal to thicken it up and add calories. He never refuses yogurt!

We use the same. Our grocery store NEVER has plain YoBaby and the flavored kinds have sugar (I am avoiding processed sugar as long as possible).
We use Stonyfield Farms or the Greek yogurt, depending on which store I go to that week. I had been mixing thawed frozen blueberries into their yogurt, but I'm trying to branch out with other fruits. Today they got pureed mangoes and peaches mixed in - they didn't like that much.
I can't remember exactly when we started yogurt, but it was pretty early. I want to say about 6 months adjusted, 7 months at the latest.
why is everyone so interested in giving yogart to the baby? i am obviously out of the loop.
Yogurt is high in fat, calories and protein - all really good things for babies, especially preemies. And the cultures in yogurt is very good for their digestive systems.

Agreed. The probiotic qualities are important to me. Its also a way to work dairy into the diet in preparation for the transition from formula to whole milk. Plus, DS really likes it!
