    Have you thought about making your own? You can buy yoghurt makers or there are ways to make it without one. You just need a small amount of yoghurt as a starter culture.

    Wow Cherised, I saw this thread and couldn't believe your DS is six months already!!! Time flies

    Sorry, I don't know anything about yoghurt except that I have given my babies regular yoghurt from about 7 months and I've had no issues.

    We make our own too. Commercial ones usually have quite a lot of sugar in them which I'm not a big fan of - seems to defeat the main purpose. Home made ones also have heaps more good bacteria in them than store bought. You can get yogurt makers for $20 from Woolies, and either use the packets or starter culture. It's really easy.

    We give DD Jalna yoghurt, it's that brand that they make it in the pot that you buy at the shops. I've compared it to other yoghurts including the baby yoghurt and it has heaps less sugar in it. We give her natural or greek style but we'll be starting other flavours soon enough I guess

    I used to do that, you can also get electronic ones (they just keep the milk warm though) that use just milk, milk powder (if you want) and some yoghurt. You then just save some of your first batch to make the next one. They make a lot of yoghurt though, mine made 1.5L at a time. But, like Yeddi said, you know exactly what is in it cause you put it there yourself. Why I make my own bread to.
