is yoghurt good for 11 mth babies?

Question:

i want to know whether we should give yoghurt and other dairy products to 11 mth baby girl if not then from which age we should start

Answers:
You should check with your doctor in case your baby has any special conditions that would make this a bad idea. Otherwise, yogurt is a great food for babies. Make sure it is full-fat yogurt, as they need the fats for their developing brains. Cow's milk should not be given to babies under twelve months, b/c it contains too much sodium and they should be getting comparable and sufficient nutrients from breastmilk or forumla, whichever they are on. Full fat cheeses (such as cottage, tiny shreds of mozzerella or cheddar, etc.) are good protein for babies as well once they are eating chunky solid food. As with all foods, wait 3-5 days after introducing each new food to check for allergies. Good luck and enjoy!

Yes, yoghurt is good for babies. Many companies market organic yogurt for babies.

Yogurt is a great baby food. It contain lots of high quality protein, plenty of calcium, and beneficial bacteria. It is appropriate to offer yogurt to babies generally after six months of age, and then only as a supplement to formula or breast milk, not as a replacement. Choose the plain, full fat yogurt. Babies do not need the added sugar of the flavored variety. If your baby does not care for the yogurt plain, try adding a little mashed fruit such as banana, applesauce or papaya.
