Most experts agree that yogurt is safe to be eaten by babies 6 months and up. However, do watch out for signs of allergies or lactose intolerance when you give this food--or any new food for that matter--for the first time. If all is safe and there are no symptoms of allergies, go ahead and let your baby enjoy the exciting flavors of yogurt.
You'll be glad to know that yogurt is an excellent source of protein. This nutrient provides your little one with energy. At the same time, it is necessary to support his growth and development.
We also cannot talk about yogurt and not mention probiotics. It is teeming with these beneficial bacteria that keep your baby's digestive tract happy. Consequently, having a healthy gut also does wonders for his immune system. Pretty cool, right?
