My son is 7 months old and is on antibiotics again, i couldnt remember with my other 2 which age they began to have yogurt. my children are prone to getting yeast infections when they are on antibiotics and yogurt always seemed to help prevent it with my other 2. thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

My pedi said 8 mos., but it's all a rough age. I think 7 mos. is a good time! Glad you tried it.

Our pediatrician gave us the go-ahead for yogurt at six months. It was the only way my son would eat cereal, so I was glad that it didn't have the one year restriction like whole milk did. Just start it slow, like with any other new food . . .

You may want to try cutting sugar out of you and your kids diet to help with the yest infections.

Ask your ped's office if it's OK to try it now. I always bought YoBaby for my son when he was small. He loved it. Also LaCreme Vanilla.

Hello A.!
It is fine to give your baby yogurt provided that he doesn't have a milk allergy. I would go with the whole milk, plain variety now. I use the stonyfield farm organic brand and serve to my daughter with a little bit of mashed banana!

Hi A., I started my girls all on yogurt as I started baby food when they were about 6 months old. Go for it! Best wishes.
