About this episode

#157: Can babies eat yogurt? And why is yogurt ok if babies should not have fluid cow’s milk until they turn 1? In this episode we’re exploring the yogurt aisle, with tips on what to look for - and what to leave out - when you’re looking for a yogurt to offer your baby for baby-led weaning.

Listen to this episode to learn:

HOW to offer yogurt to your baby while still honoring the self-feeding principles of baby-led weaning. Quick tip: it involves a pre-loaded baby-led weaning spoon.
WHICH TYPE of yogurt babies can eat, why we want to offer cow’s milk protein foods early and often and why yogurt is a better bet than cheese and fluid cow’s milk for babies
