Introducing Dairy

Is there a timeline on this? I bought some of the whole milk yobaby yogurt that I'd like to give her, but now I'm not sure if there is a reason to hold off on dairy? It's not listed as as 6-9 food in my baby book for some reason.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

    I asked my pedi at her 6 month check up about yogurt and he said to go ahead and start if we want, but to introduce it like we would any other food and to look out for allergies. Go for it!

    I'm lactose intolerant, so I only have plain lactose free at home. Do you think it will be ok?

    My pediatrician said it's fine, but that since they get so much of those nutrients from formula or breast milk that it might be more important valences diet wise to focus on introducing a wide variety of veggies and fruits early on.

    I've "shared" Greek yogurt with him a couple of times and it's been fine; he got about 3 or 4 baby-sized spoonfuls. He loved it!

    We just started right in with dairy, no waiting. But we are doing BLWing so besides honey, everything else is pretty much free game.

    We started full fat Greek yogurt at 6 mos. LO is dropping weight %iles and there are a ton of good calories in there. He looooves it, mixed with a little fruit purée.

    I introduced some 2% (couldn't find full fat) greek yogurt at around 6 months. Our ped said anything except honey is game as long as we wait a few days before introducing new foods.

    Semi related: I've never understood what baby yogurt is... I mean, all yogurt is smooth textured. Is there any difference at all other than marketing?

    We're doing BLW, so at this point, the only dairy DD is not getting is milk (unless it is cooked in something), since she will be only drinking BM until she is a year old.  Cheese, yogurt and butter are fair game.

    On the full-fat thing, a lot of low/non-fat items have extra sugar or artificial flavor to make up for the fact that things taste like shit with the fat removed.

    The more I pump, the less appealing dairy seems. Anyone else? Lol
