I went shopping in the supermarket yesterday and heard an argument between my mother-in-law and my daughter-in-law in front of the freezer. It turned out that the mother-in-law wanted to buy yogurt for the baby at home, while the mother thought that the seven-month-old child was too young to drink yogurt. In fact, I also encountered this problem before Qiangbao was one year old.

When I gave 8-month-old Qiangbao yogurt, my grandmother questioned: Can such a small child eat yogurt? So let's talk about it today. How old is the baby to eat yogurt? How should mothers buy reliable yogurt food?

Yogurt tastes good, and many babies like it very much. Many experts hold different views on how old a baby can eat yogurt. Some people think that the basic raw material of yogurt is milk, so it should be drunk after one year old like fresh milk.

However, in the process of changing milk into yogurt, some protein will be hydrolyzed during fermentation, so that yogurt is easier to digest than milk, and it is not as easy to make babies allergic as milk. So in fact, it is ok to add yogurt for the first time between 7 months and December.

When you give your baby yogurt for the first time, you should also consider the difference of individual gastrointestinal acceptance and follow the principle from less to more. For example, Qiangbao began to eat baby yogurt for 8 months, which was well accepted, while his best friend's daughter vomited. This is because the lactic acid in yogurt stimulates the intestine, which is because mom and dad can postpone giving their baby yogurt for two months.

If your baby is between 6 months and 1 year old, it is recommended to add room temperature yogurt first to avoid irritation to the baby's stomach. Qiangbao was eating this baby yogurt. I mainly like this kind of portable packaging, which can be packed again if I can't eat it all at once, and the taste is rich enough. The link is below, you can buy it for your baby to try.

The taste of yogurt is loved by children, and its nutrition is comprehensive and easy to absorb. It can be said that yogurt is one of the high-quality snacks for babies in the complementary food stage. However, there are so many kinds of yogurt on the market, and new products are emerging one after another. Mothers will inevitably have a headache, and they don't know what kind of yogurt is suitable for their babies and what kind is safe and healthy. We just need to grasp two key points to be ok!

the first point: the quality of milk

although milk has been fermented into yogurt, its basic nutritional components will not change much. for example, although protein is decomposed into amino acids and peptides which are more easily absorbed, the total amount remains unchanged. Therefore, whether yogurt is good or not depends on the quality of milk. At present, the most common yogurt on the market is "fresh milk" and "reconstituted milk". What's the difference between them? Once, Qiangbao took a sip of reconstituted milk yogurt in grandpa's shop and immediately said to me, "This is not good!" "

In fact, reconstituted milk is yogurt made by adding water to milk powder to restore the milk concentration. Milk powder undergoes high temperature in the recovery process, so some nutrients such as vitamins will be lost, resulting in poor taste, but nutrients such as protein and calcium remain unchanged.

the second point: the strains for making yogurt

we all know that yogurt is fermented by milk and lactic acid bacteria, and even some mothers make yogurt for their babies at home for safety. But in fact, lactic acid bacteria is not a kind of bacteria, but a kind of bacteria. For example, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium, etc., and the classic one is the mixture of Lactobacillus Bacilli and Streptococcus thermophilus.

which kind of bacteria to add is a matter of different opinions. My best friend once told me with great headache that there are too many types of yogurt, and there are still fermented milk, old yogurt and Greek yogurt. I really don't know how to choose. After checking the same information, she found that there is no essential difference between these yoghurts, but the fermented milk uses a combination of different lactic acid bacteria. The old yogurt and Greek yogurt have added a thickener, and there is no difference in nutrition. Just look at the baby's preference in taste.

Ps: Normal temperature yogurt is easy to store, but after high temperature sterilization, there are no living lactic acid bacteria in the product.

For weaned babies or babies who don't like to drink milk, yogurt is a very high-quality source from protein. However, although yogurt is delicious, eating too much will inevitably make them tired. If you open it in a different way, the baby may always keep the freshness of yogurt. Let's introduce several fancy ways to eat yogurt. Let's try it together!

strawberry yogurt jelly

In fact, this is a pudding method in western food, which is very simple to operate and can also be made with the baby. Delicate and smooth in taste, it is a dessert deeply loved by Qiangbao.

required raw materials:

25g of plain yogurt, 4g of milk, 1g of honey, 1 tablet of gelatin and 2g of strawberry

Production method:

First cut the strawberry into small pieces, and soak the gelatin tablets in cold water until soft. Heat the milk in the microwave oven for 2 seconds, mix the honey and yogurt, mix and melt the gelatin tablets and milk, slightly warm, add yogurt and strawberry diced, stir, and refrigerate for two hours to eat.

potted yogurt

if this is too much trouble, I recommend a delicious yogurt that can be cooked without brains. Even a three-year-old child can learn it at once.

required raw materials: yogurt, cereal, Oreo, mint leaves (coriander, celery leaves, etc.)

production method: Oreo is twisted, the white part is removed, and the black biscuits are mashed in a plastic bag (let the baby come in this step). The yogurt is poured into a glass, covered with a layer of ready-to-eat cereal, covered with Oreo powder, and then a leaf is placed as a decoration, and you are done. Yogurt with a variety of flavors will definitely make the baby want to stop.
