Does 6-month-old baby yogurt cause constipation?

For a 6-month-old baby, yogurt generally doesn't cause constipation; in fact, the probiotics it contains can support digestion. However, in some babies, sensitivity to milk protein or the thickness of yogurt (if too thick) can temporarily firm up stool.
If your baby's stool becomes firmer or looser after eating yogurt:
- Stop for a few days and try again later; observe if there's a difference
- Mix the yogurt with a fibrous fruit (pear or apricot puree) to balance it
- Generally, giving no more than 1-2 tablespoons per day is sufficient
If constipation lasts over a week, your baby is uncomfortable, or there's blood in stool, consult your pediatrician.
