sugar in yoghurt??

[kateandfelicity]

DP has been concerned about giving DD petits filous as he says there is lots of sugar in it?
is this true? is this bad? if so, is there any alternative around that is suitable for a 7mo?
don't want to stop giving her yoghurt as her milk intake is not always very good and want her to have it for calcium and fat etc, plus dd loves it!

thanks

Kate

Those flavoured yoghurts are absolutely vile.
We eat Rachels or Yeo Valley or Biopot (my favourite) as do the children.

-rachels and yeo valley are kind of expensive

Exactly NP!

Sheeeesh, some of you really are passionate about feckin yoghurt and fromage frais eh?!?!

Scary!

Nah, not really passionate about yoghurt. Can't stand it myself. I wouldn't even say it merited a "sheeeesh", but there you go

I just wasn't too keen on giving my baby all the additives and fillers that Petit Filous contain when I could just be giving yoghurt with fruit in it. I just felt that for a baby who was only just starting to take solid food, less was more.

Eh np????

If you bought a 500g tub of Onken and worked out price of that weight for weight with those PF things (not to mention all the packaging),you would find it a lot cheaper.

I second WWB.

Okay okay... its the devils food.... we get it right?!!!!

WWB - The sheeesh wasn't for you really.

If cost is an issue, supermarkets often do own-brand organic flavoured yogurts which aren't too gross. Or make your own fruit puree and mix it with plain yogurt of any brand.

if you buy big tubs how long would you keep it? (after opening i mean)

SA..more an issue of it being foul tasting to me than anything else.
Nothing wrong with sugary things,as long as they're nice (says she.cramming in a mince pie)

My mother (unbelievably tight,despite,or maybe because she has plenty of dosh) tells me she buys big cartons of plain yoghurt in Kwik Save for about 35p!!

Well,in my house,not long at all,but a week would be fine.

If tastebuds not attuned to plain yoghurt,a dollop of jam or honey is nice.

God,three posts in a row.
I really need to get out more.....

Tescos own brands???? Then someone will have a go at you for buying morally wrong foods from Supermarkets.... since they rape and pillage small suppliers! Can't win on MN these days really!

...oooo so bitter, maybe I need a MN break.

hi md

so if i bought a big tub of plain yoghurt i could keep it opened in the fridge for a week?

i am going to do that - then add different ingredients each day for dd's - thanks!

althought it probably wouldnt last a week..

Have a schooner of sherry Sa. it'll calm yer frazzled nerves.

I've just told me ds to 'bloody shut up' about 12 times today.Dh gave me a bollocking for being a bittler old shrew.

You will wave goodbye to Petits Filous forever np!!!

Yeah Sackache get into the yoghurt chiller with you woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol I was cross referencing with the thread about Tesco thats on the go.

i must admit i wouldnt eat a petit filou myself

I would/do! DH usually puts a spoonful into porridge.

I can't eat that, I'm too much of a dietitian to eat that muck
Sorry

Well,that's my rationale np.
Why should my kids eat what I won't??
(I do fight them off when it comes to the booze cupboard though.....)

yes I used to use a big tub of plain yoghurt in the fridge
and add fruit puree for dd1 and honey for me
if feeling v lazy I used those little tubs of Just Fruit that you can get.

SackAche, i know what they mean but it doesn't seem right to me that they r in babies food especially labelled as from 4 months.....
