Can a 3-month-old eat yogurt?

For a 3-month-old, yogurt is not appropriate until the supplementary feeding period begins. The World Health Organization (WHO) and general pediatric guidelines recommend that babies be fed only breast milk or formula milk (follow-on formula) for the first 6 months. A 3-month-old's digestive system is not yet ready to process solid foods like yogurt; introducing it early can increase the risk of allergy, digestive problems, or choking hazard.
Yogurt can generally be introduced from 6 months onward, during the transition to supplementary foods, with doctor approval. I recommend not giving yogurt to your 3-month-old, continuing to feed only breast milk or the formula recommended by your doctor. Consulting your pediatrician about when to start supplementary foods will be the safest approach.
