What kind of yogurt to you feed LO's?

jcath · April 2012

My pediatrician said we could start yogurt after 6 mos and suggested Yo Baby. I bought some yesterday at the store (vanilla) and the girls loved it...so I checked the label. I didn't realize it had sugar in it. It's frickin delicious and I'm quite certain they'll never eat another green bean again once they know this is out there.

I'd rather feed them something without sugar - what do you guys use? Also anyone make their own? I've got the instructions and am kind of tempted.

The only thing you can do is get plain yogurt but even that has sugar in it. You could get that and then maybe put some fruit puree in there to flavor it yourself.

DS eats full fat plain Greek yogurt. I mix in a fruit puree and sometimes some cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and/or baking spice. He loves it.

I did feed DS YoBaby for a few days. He loved it. Then my friend recommended Stoneyfield Organic full-fat plain yogurt. I add a little sweet potato to it. He likes it like that. He didn't like it plain.

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure all yogurt has some amount of sugar. I do believe that Yo Baby yogurt does have lessor amounts when compared to other brands. I started using Gerber yogurt because it didn't need refrigeration and I liked taking it along with me as a snack. I also used Yo Baby.

For what it is worth - Dillon loves yogurt, but that didn't stop him from eating his veggies like a champ. He loves veggies and would pass up a peice of chocolate for a carrot (too bad I can't convice my MIL of that).

We do the simply gogurt. 10g of sugar per serving, not bad. I liked the convenience of being able to tear off a little corner and just squeeze the tube into his mouth. At first I was really paranoid about it and used plain yogurt and flavroed it with purees..but that was a pain...and ended up not having a ton less sugar (and he often didn't like it anyways...I was just trying to use up purees since he wasn't a big fan). FWIW, he doesn't like sweet things yet. He doesn't like juice, the only cookie/sweet he will eat is mini nutter butters and the occasional animal cracker, and once in a while, he will eat a few fruit snacks. his snack of choice right now is mixed nuts

We do plain whole milk or plain Greek - no added sugar in it, just the naturally occurring sugar in the dairy. We mixin pur?es for more flavor - both fruit and veg pur?es. My personal fave is sweet potato with cinnamon

Chobani yogurt because I get the big containers at BJs and just give it to her by the spoonful. The plain has no added sugar (from what I see, the yobaby plain doesn't either), but I'm fine with her having the vanilla or fruit ones (but she doesn't like those) because there is a lot more protein in Greek yogurt (11 g instead of 4 g in yobaby - four ounce servings).

At that age, it was plain, whole milk, organic yogurt. They do not all have sugar. Babies don't know the difference between sugar and no sugar, so they'll probably like the plain just fine!

We still do plain and organic, but low-fat and we add fruits and sometimes honey.

Ava gets Chobani yogurt in the little individual containers for kids.

Stoneyfield full fat plain yogurt. I find it infuriating that they add sugar to everything else. And it isn't just the sugar that's in the fruit/vegetables - they add additional sugar.

I broke down a few weeks ago and got yobaby when I couldn't find the plain. He got a terrible diaper rash that would not go away. Apparently the sweetened yogurts also have a higher acid content. NEVER AGAIN.

This is what we did for DD...until she was a little over a year old and wouldn't eat it any more. then we moved on to the Chobani Champions for both DS and DD. When DS was a baby, he would eat YoBaby 3 in 1 meals, since they had fruid and veggies in them. We moved on to Chobani since there is so much more protein, and neither child is a big fan of meat (or anything else with protein really).

Organic full fat Greek yogurt. I mix in fresh fruit or applesauce occasionally, but they like it plain too
