What's a good everyday yogurt for a 7mo baby?

Petit filous seems a bit sugary. TIA!

My DD loves full fat Fage Total Greek yoghurt. It's not sugary, and it's creamy, tasty and better value for money than 'kids' yoghurts.

I would just go for a full fat natural yoghurt.

I was going to say what winkly said. Make sure it is the full fat one though.

Full fat Greek yoghurt is fab, I agree with the PP. It's a good thick texture too, so they can have a go with a spoon themselves.

Plain yogurt is best obviously, but if you are going for a flavoured one, the lowest sugar one I have found is tesco goodness - not the fromage frais, they have a new one with flavours such as carrot and mango, and beetroot and raspberry.

Full fat natural yoghurt with a spoonful of unsweetened fruit purée is also good.

Fab, full fat plain/Greek yog it is, thank you all!

DD isn't picky about flavour so plain will be fine but we've also got a ton of fruit purées in the freezer so we can mix it up from time-to-time Smile

I use full fat greek style yoghurt. Decanted into small pots, chuck in a couple of bits of frozen fruit and presto - value, healthy, delicious snacks.

When I read your post quickly, I thought you said "and pesto"! I was wondering if anyone would actually mix pesto into yogurt and fruit until I read again more carefully....!

The Lidl full fat greek yogurt in the giant tub is gorgeous, and no tartness at all so wouldn't even need fruit

Can I ask a silly question. If I buy one of those big pots of yoghurt, once I open them, how long can it keep for? Thanks!

Plain yeo valley is delicious!

Aren't they usually supposed to be eaten around 3 - 5 days after opening?

Blush I just eat the rest of the play yeo valley so don't know about 3 or 4 days.
If I want to flavour it but have no sweet fruit cause the stuff from tesco was sour and hard again , I have some own brand fruit puree and tinned fruit in juice on standby. Read the tins and plastic tubs to find ones with nothing added. Store cupboard must have!

I always used plain yogurt, with a spoonful of fruit purée in for flavour. If you prefer a ready-flavoured one, the Yeo valley baby (not toddler) yogurts have no added sugar, just fruit. Their toddler ones DO have sugar; check label if unsure!

The Yeo "baby" fromage frais still has added sugar, it's just called "concentrated grape juice" rather than sucrose/fructose etc. It's a hidden sugar. But, to be fair to Yeo, the sugar content is still fairly low compared to other brands.

Yeo valley plain is what I use. It auto corrected to "play".
