A quick, age-by-age answer with how to serve it safely. Checked against CDC, AAP.
Usually starts around 6 months.
Plain, full-fat yogurt is fine from about 6 months even though cow’s milk as a drink waits until 12 months, because fermentation makes it easier to digest. Solids typically begin around 6 months.
How to serve: Choose plain, unsweetened, full-fat, pasteurized yogurt.
Yes, plain and full-fat.
Yogurt is a gentle way to introduce dairy and is fine from 6 months, even before cow’s milk as a drink. Skip the sweetened, flavored tubs.
How to serve: Choose plain, unsweetened, full-fat, pasteurized yogurt. Add mashed fruit for flavor.
