Complete guide on how to prepare and serve dairy yogurt pouches to your baby, by age.
Last reviewed: May 2026
For babies 6-9 months, aim for about 60–90g (2–3 oz) per meal as part of a balanced plate that includes iron-rich foods and a variety of textures. Dairy yogurt is an excellent source of calcium and protein, but should not replace breast milk or formula. Opt for plain, whole-milk unsweetened yogurt whenever possible. Monitor closely for allergic reactions during initial exposures.

For toddlers 9-18 months, increase serving size to 90–120g (3–4 oz) per meal, depending on appetite and overall intake. Yogurt fits well as a snack or alongside fruits, grains, or vegetables. Continue to select plain, whole-milk varieties to ensure healthy fat intake crucial for brain development. Offer with a variety of other foods, including iron sources.
