yoghurt???

[bea]

is there any reason why my 7 month old can't have natural organic yoghurt as opposed to the baby yoghurts you can buy?? is there any difference, ingredients wise other than the packaging??

thanks...

as i was thinking of giving her some with some pureed fruit!

Some baby yogs are made with follow-on milk (Baby Danone for example) rather than straight cows milk, so if you are avoiding cows milk in it's most basic forms then they're good.

I have always given ds natural organic full fat yoghurt with pureed fruit. He loves it, I got the tip from a great book from my local library. I've added apple, pear, apricot, bananna, mango & papaya. It works out cheaper than buying those baby yoghurts - plus you know exactly what goes in to it. Also try organic greek yoghurt.

Emmaggee - I thought follow-on milk was based on cow's milk ???

Yes, but in the same way that formula milk differs from giving your baby unadulterated cows milk from the minute they're born..........

I would not give formula or follow-on if I avoided cow's milk... DS is only on goat's milk and before I knew of his intolerance (not allergy) I gave him formula and he reacted pretty badly.
Maybe I'm missunderstanding you Emmagge.
