Cui Yutao Supplementary Food Book: How old can a baby eat yogurt?

Babies over one year old can drink a small amount of yogurt. But before the age of three, it is best to give priority to formula. Formula milk powder has comprehensive and scientific nutrition and can meet the needs of baby's growth and development. The acid in yogurt can increase the acidity of stomach contents, promote the action of digestive enzymes and inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli.

Therefore, it is suitable for children with weak digestive ability and infantile diarrhea. It contains the same nutrients as fresh milk and is easier to digest than fresh milk. Therefore, it can be used as a substitute for milk. But after the yogurt is cooked, you can't cook it. You can only drink cold drinks, or warm the bottle in warm water before eating.

Babies over half a year old can drink yogurt with less calcium. Newborns are growing and need a lot of calcium. Lactic acid bacteria in yogurt will produce antibiotics. Although it can inhibit and destroy a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, it also destroys the growth conditions of bacteria beneficial to human body and affects normal digestive function, especially for infants and premature infants with gastroenteritis.

Moreover, giving your baby yogurt too early will also develop their preference for sweets.
