Yoghurt for babies- when to start

[star child]

at what age did you start your child on yoghurt?

[Shanti]

7 months. DD loved it and still does!!

I know lots of mum's that started around 6mths too.... I think it's fine once bubs is used to fruit and veges first...

we started it pretty soon after DS turned 6mths. he loves it! i only get the jalna natural full fat one though.

I started DS2 on it today.... just a little... he is about 6.5 months.

We started when she was just over 6 months, we did start solids at about 5 1/2 months though. She has only had it a couple of times, and before giving it to her she had tried a few different fruits/vegetables and rice cereal. I bought the Jalna vanilla yoghurt, she has had it plain and yesterday I mixed mashed up strawberry into it, this morning it was mashed up mango. She only has it every couple of days and even then it's only a teaspoon or so.

At her 6 month checkup the MCN said she can basically eat whatever we're eating, there's no need to worry about giving them dairy, as long as it is in small quantities of course, and the only thing she isn't allowed to have is honey.
