Can my 6 month old have soya yoghurt?

[FredFlintstonesSister]

Just that really. DD has just turned 6 months and we are beginning weaning with a mix of purée and finger foods (all fruit and veg so far). I'm planning on introducing some yoghurt and cereal in a few weeks but don't really want to go down the baby rice/ munch bunch route. I am lactose intolerant (not dairy) and so buy soya milk and yoghurt. They are fortified with calcium. DD has never showen any signs of allergy, I just don't really want to buy separate stuff for her when she'll only be taking a tiny amount! Still breast feeding on demand.

Not sure on that one. Soya milk isn't recommended at that age at all unless a HCP has told you to give it. Couldn't you just buy natural yoghurt for her and mix with fruit and then swap your milk alternative to almond, oat or koko?

my little boy has milk allergy and he is 6months we recently met with a dietician and was told to introduce soya to him in yogurt and milk form (only for cooking with the milk) so you most defiantly can

Soya is actually not very good for you, especially women. It can increase breast cancer and plays havoc with estrogen. Have you tried coconut yoghurt? There's a great one called coyo, or almond milk? I'd try and really limit any soy products as much as poss.
