Complete guide on how to prepare and serve flavored yogurt (low sugar) to your baby, by age.
Last reviewed: May 2026
Serve low-sugar flavored yogurt as part of a varied meal, alongside iron-rich foods such as lentils, eggs, or chicken and fruits or veggies for vitamin C. Begin with 1-2 tablespoons (15-30g/0.5-1oz) per meal. Opt for yogurts with less than 5g sugar per 100g and plain or naturally flavored varieties to limit added sugar. Always avoid yogurts with honey for children under 12 months due to botulism risk. Offer from a pre-loaded spoon or allow baby to self-feed using hands.

Include low-sugar flavored yogurt as a side or snack, paired with fiber-rich grains, fruits, or veggie sticks. Typical serving size is 30-60g (1-2oz). Look for simple ingredient lists and minimal sugar. Yogurt can be served alone or with a bit of mashed fruit for more variety. Balance the meal with a source of iron and finger foods to promote self-feeding.
