Can a 1-year-old baby drink kefir—I'm really confused about this, what should I do?

Kefir is generally considered safe starting at 1 year—as long as it's made from pasteurized milk, unsweetened, and free of additives. Because of its probiotic (gut-friendly) content, it can help with digestion.
Start with a teaspoon or two and wait two days; if there's no gas, diarrhea, or rash, you can gradually increase the amount. Half a small cup per day is a good limit.
If there's a history of milk allergy in your family, or if your baby has shown a reaction to cow's milk protein before, ask your pediatrician before introducing kefir.
