Kids Yoghurt

same as the others, I think it's just marketing.. I give DD Jalna yoghurt. Have given her the 'kid yoghurt' a couple of times, but the natural stuff is so much better. At least you know it doesn't have sugar/flavourings/preservatives. I can't eat it though, smells a bit like milk vomit to me..lol.

I actually really like the Jalna natural yoghurt... i mix strawberries in with it if I feel like it needs to be sweeter. DS will scoff the Jalna (plain as is) but fuss over the sweet toddler yoghurt. Go figure.

I tried the baby yoghurts with DD1 and realised she was reacting to them, kept breaking out in rash after eating them, went to jalna and no probs at all.

i eat greek yoghurt and DD loves it, i dont get those kids ones, FIL gets them for her when we stay with him and shes not that keen....although if she is hungry at the supermarket i have given her those squeezy yoghurts as we go around...but they are full of sugar! id say marketing tool!
Greek yoghurt with some frozen berries or mashed mango has been DD fave since abuut 7 months old!!!

ETA:just had to add....1500 posts woohoo

Don't worry about kids or baby yoghurts. It's just another reason to charge more.

Find the most natural yoghurt you can and give her that.

We love Jalna here and Mungalli Creek (from the health food store or deli).

Recently. I have successfully made my own yoghurt with those as a starter (no yoghurt maker, I just use an esky filled with warm water). I make 2 litres at a time. No powdered milk or other processed stuff. Just yoghurt and full cream milk. If I want it particularly thick and creamy, I strain the yoghurt through cheesecloth which gives me Greek yoghurt.
It is absolutely divine, no effort and cheap as chips. And way more natural than any of the kids' yoghurts.

I add some natural Raspberry Jam to make "pink yoghurt" for my pink-obsessed daughter. Or pureed Manngo. or a few drops of Flaxseed oil and honey.
Or garlic, grated cucumber and a little dill for a refreshing Tzatziki dip.
