Safety Information
How to Serve Drinkable Oat Yogurt to a 6–9 Months Old
How to Cut
Cutting not required. Drinkable oat yogurt has a smooth, pourable consistency. For babies 6–9 months who are not yet using a cup, offer in an open cup, spoon, or allow self-feeding by pre-loading a spoon and handing it to your baby. Always supervise closely. Avoid adding sweeteners or flavorings at this stage.
Serving Instructions
Offer 60–90 ml (2–3 fl oz) of drinkable oat yogurt as part of a meal once a day, ideally paired with iron-rich foods like pureed lentils or soft-cooked eggs, and vitamin C sources such as mashed strawberries. Ensure yogurt is plain, unsweetened, and free from added flavors. Encourage self-feeding by preloading spoons or letting your baby dip. Always supervise closely to build safe, positive mealtime experiences.
How to Serve Drinkable Oat Yogurt to a 9–18 Months Old
How to Cut
No cutting needed for drinkable oat yogurt. At this stage, continue offering in an open cup or try a straw cup under adult supervision. Encourage your child to practice self-feeding by pouring into a cup they can hold or by using a spoon. Limit added sugars. Continue to serve the yogurt alongside iron-rich foods (like lentils or chicken) and fruits or vegetables for balance.
Serving Instructions
Serve 90–120 ml (3–4 fl oz) of drinkable oat yogurt with meals, up to twice daily. Combine with iron-rich ingredients like meat, beans, or tofu, and vibrant fruits or veggies to aid iron absorption and diversify flavor exposure. Ensure yogurt is plain and low in added sugar. Foster independence by letting your child try pouring or sipping. Observe for any signs of reaction, and always supervise closely.
How to Serve Drinkable Oat Yogurt to a 18+ Months Old
How to Cut
Cutting is not necessary. Offer drinkable oat yogurt in an open cup or with a straw, letting your child pour their own portion for greater independence. Encourage drinking alongside meals or as a snack. Pair with a variety of whole foods to promote a balanced diet—think fruit pieces, nut butters (if developmentally ready), or whole grain crackers. Continue avoiding added sugars when possible, and always monitor for signs of food sensitivity.
Serving Instructions
Offer 120–180 ml (4–6 fl oz) of drinkable oat yogurt with a main meal or snack, up to twice a day. Encourage your child to choose their portion and combine it with nutrient-dense foods such as whole grain crackers, nut butters (if appropriate), or fruit pieces. Prioritize plain, unsweetened yogurt to create positive, healthy habits and reduce exposure to added sugars.
