From what age can you start feeding a baby yogurt?

Answer 1

Most physicians here indicate that babies should be on breastmilk or formula alone until they are 6 months old. However, when you baby is old enough to sit up unsupported, and starts taking keen interest in your food-grabbing your plate, following your spoon to your mouth and looking at you like "Where's mine??" then these are good indications thaat he/she is ready for first foods. I do not know wat Pablum is-we do not have that here inthe states as far as I know. Some people put cereal in baby's bottle, and some people are against doing o. i did not do it because it went against the reccommendations of my pediatrician. But a lot of people do that and have children who grow up just fine.

Answer 2

According to the American Association of Pediatrics, breastfeeding is the preferred choice for the first year of an infant's life. Still, apart from the part of the population that is congenitally lactose intolerant, milk can be digested even by newborns. It is not nutritionally complete and is neither a substitute for mother's milk nor for baby formula.

Answer 3

You can introduce solids any time between 4 and 6 months if your baby is ready (see "How will I know when my baby's ready," below). Until then, breast milk or formula provides all the calories and nourishment your baby needs and can handle. His digestive system simply isn't ready for solids until he nears his half-birthday. Waiting until your baby is ready greatly reduces the risk of an allergic reaction and shortens the transition time between spoon- and self-feeding.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies be breastfed exclusively for at least six months - though parents will attest that some babies are eager and ready to eat solids earlier. Your baby will give you clear signs when he's ready to move beyond liquid-only nourishment. Cues to look for include:

• Head control. Your baby needs to be able to keep his head in a steady, upright position.

• Losing the "extrusion reflex." To keep solid food in his mouth and then swallow it, your baby needs to stop using his tongue to push food out of his mouth.

• Sitting well when supported. Even if he's not quite ready for a highchair, your baby needs to be able to sit upright to swallow well.

• Chewing motions. Your baby's mouth and tongue develop in sync with his digestive system. To start solids, he should be able to move food to the back of his mouth and swallow. As he learns to swallow efficiently, you may notice less drooling. He may also be teething around the same time.

• Significant weight gain. Most babies are ready to eat solids when they've doubled their birth weight (or weigh about 15 pounds) and are at least 4 months old.

• Growing appetite. He seems hungry - even with eight to ten feedings of breast milk or formula a day.

• Curiosity about what you're eating. Your baby may begin eyeing your bowl of rice or reaching for a forkful of fettuccine as it travels from your plate to your mouth.

Answer 4

I have read that it's ok to give a baby yogurt between 9 -12 months. It is not ok to give a baby cow's milk at this time though because cow's milk doesn't contain enough iron for the baby.

Answer 5

seven or eight months, Yo Baby is the best!

Answer 6

yes as long as it is smooth and has nothing chunky in it
