live bio yoghurt

[notsogummyanymore]

can anyone think of a reason NOT to feed a 10 month old natural live bio yoghurt?

Food Standards Agency says it is ok:

Are bio yoghurts safe for babies?

'Bio' yoghurts usually claim to contain 'live' bacteria, or 'cultures'. In most products, these will be the same types of bacteria that are found naturally in a healthy person's digestive system.

So babies don't need to eat bio yoghurts to get these bacteria. But if you want to give bio yoghurts to your baby after he or she is about six months old, this should be safe, as long as it doesn't say on the label that the product isn't suitable for babies.

Your baby needs plenty of energy to grow, so make sure you give him or her full-fat varieties of dairy products such as yoghurts and fromage frais. Remember to avoid using cows' milk as a main drink until your baby is one year old.

thanks very much!

I make yoghurt in an electric maker from Lakeland. I've had it since DD1 was about a year old and fell in love w/yoghurt. I don't know if it's 'live' or not, though.

Just bought some yeo valley little tubs, then suddenly thought hmm... Thought it was the healthier option.

yeo's are fine. i used to buy DD1 the big tub of it. but we all eat it and i use it to cook a lot, so it worked out cheaper to make it myself.

we do get yeo's to take out w/us, tho. i got all the weaning spoons when they ran a promotional w/them.

the fruit tumbles are nice.

great, thanks again.

I get the tumbles and spoons too! Just out of interest, what sorts of things do you cook with natural yoghurt?
