Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Baby yogurt---what kind?

I haven't given DD any yet, for no real specific reason. I know DS was eating it by now and he LOVED it. DD's been a little slower eating, but I think she's ready now as she's starting to eat more.

I know there's Yobaby and that stuff is good, but it's also expensive imo. Are there any plain, NOT low-fat, whole milk yogurt options that I could stir my own fruit into? Any brand recs or what have you tried? And it is fine now, right? (8.5 months)

Re: Baby yogurt---what kind?

  • How old does DC have to be to give them Yo baby? I almost bought some over the weekend, but I thought DD was too little... Can they have yogurt before one year? I figured it was the same as cow's milk.

  • dannon makes a plain regular yogurt and I just add fruit and granola crumbs into it. she loves it.
  • Stoneyfield (the brand of YoBaby) makes a big container of plain yogurt that you can get and mix in your own fruit.  Otherwise I don't know of any whole milk yogurts.  DS started eating it at 9 months and loves it!

    Pedi gave me the go-ahead at 8 months.

  • I started ds on plain yogurt (no fruit) at 9 months. No need to get sucked in by the Yobaby marketing.

    I used Dannon plain whole milk or Trader Joe's cream line plain.

  • The book our Dr gave us on when to start certain foods etc has yogurt at 9mths. 
  • Thanks girls! I think I'll check for some plain whole milk yogurt at the grocery tomorrow and start it sometime soon.

  • We use Stoneyfield Farms Organic Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt. DS loves it and goes nuts when he sees me fixing it. I typically mix it with my own fruit purees and sometimes a little cereal to thicken. I buy the big container for home use and the small ones for when we travel.

  • We do the YoBaby because it's organic.  I would imagine that Dannon or any of the major brands would have a full fat plain version, but I can't be sure. 

    Through my township, I get points for recycling and one of the 'rewards' is coupons for free YoBaby yogurt.  Next time I redeem some of my points, I'll get a couple extra coupons and mail them to you...since you've mailed me quite a few coupons.  :)

  • Aww, thanks Cheryll! That's really sweet of you :) YoBaby is yummy; I remember it fondly :) I will some investigating at the grocery tomorrow and see what I can find.
