Should a 3.5-month-old baby have yogurt?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Yogurt should not be given to a 3.5-month-old baby. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend that babies be fed only breast milk or infant formula for the first 6 months. The earliest time to transition to solids is 6 months. At 3.5 months, baby's digestive system isn't ready to handle cow's milk protein; introducing it early can lead to allergies, digestive problems, or kidney strain. After 6 months, with doctor approval, you can start with small amounts of plain, homemade yogurt.
