Can a 9-month-old eat yogurt?

Maiyko AI ADVISOR

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Yogurt is a suitable and nutritious solid food for 9-month-olds. Babies who started solid foods around month 6 generally tolerate yogurt well by this age.

Use homemade, whole milk, unsweetened, unsalted yogurt. Be careful with store-bought yogurts — check they have no added ingredients, extra sugar, or fruit flavoring. Since this is a new food for your baby, start small (1-2 teaspoons) and over 3-5 days watch for any allergic signs (rash, diarrhea, vomiting). If you don't see problems, you can gradually increase the amount.

If your baby has cow's milk protein sensitivity or there's a family allergy history, check with your pediatrician before starting yogurt.
