Probiotic Yogurt

6 months and up

⚡ Quick answer

Unsweetened, full-fat probiotic yogurt can be given from 6 months; plain yogurt already contains beneficial live cultures.

How to serve it by age?

6-8 months

A few spoonfuls, plain, unsweetened, and full-fat; sweeten with fruit puree if you like.

8-12 months

At breakfast or as a snack, on its own or with soft foods.

12+ months

As part of the daily dairy requirement.

⚠️ Allergen information

Cow's milk protein

📌 Watch out for these

  • Avoid fruited varieties with added sugar, honey, or flavoring; add the fruit yourself.
  • A special 'probiotic' product is not required for babies; plain homemade yogurt is also sufficient.
  • In babies with a diagnosed immune problem, consult a doctor before using probiotics.
