Kefir
8 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Kefir can be given in small amounts (30-50 ml) from 8-9 months; with its richness in probiotics it is a friend of the gut — it should be plain and unsweetened.
How to serve it by age?
8-11 months
30-50 ml of plain kefir a day — on its own or with fruit puree.
12+ months
It can go up to 100 ml; include it, along with yogurt, in the daily total of dairy products.
⚠️ Allergen information
In a milk protein allergy, kefir also causes a reaction.
📌 Watch out for these
- Fruit-flavored ready-made kefirs contain sugar — buy it plain and add the fruit yourself.
- If it tastes too sour, get them used to it by mixing with yogurt.
