What kind of yogurt is better for a 1-year-old?

Can a one-year-old baby drink yogurt? What kind of yogurt is good? In fact, drinking yogurt can help babies promote digestion. Moreover, the calcium content in yogurt is higher than that in milk. However, the yogurt that babies drink should not be too cold. It is best to leave it for half an hour to an hour after taking it out of the refrigerator. Below is some information about yogurt for babies that the editor introduces to mothers.

Even if you want your baby to drink yogurt, they cannot drink too much. Yogurt mostly refers to sour milk, which is made from fresh milk and fermented with active lactic acid bacteria. It not only retains all the advantages of milk, but also during the fermentation process, the lactose and protein in the milk are broken down into small molecules (such as galactose), which are easier to digest and absorb. The fat content is also twice that of milk. For babies who are prone to diarrhea after drinking milk, drinking yogurt will not easily cause bloating, gas or diarrhea. Because active lactic acid bacteria are added to yogurt, the beneficial bacteria in the intestines proliferate, inhibiting the reproduction and action of putrefactive bacteria, thereby promoting the secretion of digestive enzymes and intestinal peristalsis, reducing the occurrence of diarrhea and constipation.

Six reasons why yogurt is good for your baby

1. The weaning period is a special period for infants to transition from liquid food to solid food. Yogurt is a semi-solid food. Drinking yogurt gives a stronger sense of fullness than milk, and is suitable for guiding infants to transition from liquid food to solid food.

2. Infants and young children grow and develop quickly and need more nutrition, but their stomach capacity is small, so foods with high nutrient and energy density should be selected. Yogurt meets this condition. It contains more than 20 kinds of nutrients, is very similar to breast milk, and is easy to digest, making it especially suitable for infants and young children with immature digestive systems.

3. Yogurt contains galactose. Lactose is a component of cerebrosides in the brain and nervous system, and is closely related to the rapid growth of the baby's brain after birth. Before the age of two is a critical period for brain development. Ensuring the supply of galactose at this time has a good effect on promoting the baby's growth and development.

4. Diarrhea is the most common disease in babies. Yogurt contains sufficient lactic acid bacteria and has appropriate acidity. Drinking yogurt regularly can effectively inhibit the production of harmful bacteria and improve immunity, thereby preventing diarrhea or shortening the duration of chronic diarrhea and reducing the incidence of acute diarrhea.

5. Some children are prone to getting "inflamed" after drinking milk, which manifests as constipation. The lactic acid and other metabolites in yogurt have a certain stimulating effect on the intestinal mucosa, which can promote the peristalsis of the digestive tract and reduce the occurrence of constipation.

5. Fresh milk is rich in calcium, and after fermentation, neither calcium nor minerals change. The lactic acid produced after fermentation can effectively improve the utilization rate of calcium and phosphorus in the human body, so the calcium and phosphorus in yogurt are more easily absorbed by the human body. Drinking a cup of 150 grams of yogurt can meet 1/3 of the daily calcium requirement for children under 10 years old.

The above is some information that the editor has collected for mothers. Yogurt cannot be heated. Once yogurt is heated, the nutritional value and health functions of the yogurt itself will be lost, and the beneficial lactic acid bacteria it contains will also be destroyed. And its own taste will also be lost. The heat resistance of yogurt is about 50 degrees.
