Can a one year old eat yogurt?

Yogurt is a dairy product that we often drink in our daily life, but can babies eat yogurt? As babies grow up, they need to take in a lot of nutrients to improve their physical fitness, resistance and immunity. Therefore, this question bothers many parents: How old should the baby be before he can eat yogurt? Can a one-year-old baby eat yogurt? Next, I would like to share with you some experience on whether babies who are one week old can eat yogurt.

There are four reasons to let your baby drink yogurt:

1. Yogurt has high nutrient and energy density. A cup of yogurt (150 ml) can provide infants and young children with 30% of energy and calcium and about 10% of protein. Yogurt is very similar to human milk and is easy to digest, making it especially suitable for infants and young children with immature digestive systems.

2. Yogurt contains galactose, which is a component of brain lipids in the brain and nervous system, and is closely related to the rapid growth of the baby's brain after birth.

3. Diarrhea is a common disease among infants and young children in summer. Yogurt contains sufficient lactic acid bacteria, which can effectively inhibit the production of harmful bacteria and enhance immunity, thus preventing diarrhea or shortening the duration of chronic diarrhea.

4. Yogurt is a semi-solid food. Drinking yogurt gives a stronger sense of fullness than milk and is suitable for guiding babies to transition from liquid food to solid food.

Through the above introduction, I think everyone should understand whether babies over one year old can eat yogurt. However, there are many types of yogurt on the market. We must be more careful when choosing for babies. We must pay attention to the shelf life of yogurt when choosing and choose yogurt suitable for babies. But parents of babies should remember not to use yogurt instead of milk powder!
