Safety Information
How to Serve Fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt (low sugar) to a 6–9 Months Old
Serving Instructions
Start with about 60-90 ml (2-3 oz) of whole milk, low-sugar yogurt blended with a small amount of pureed or well-mashed fruit. Offer yogurt as part of a meal including iron-rich foods (such as lentil puree or egg), a source of healthy fat, and a variety of age-appropriate vegetables. Dairy should be introduced in moderation, and not as a primary source of nutrition before 12 months, so keep portions small, focusing on variety.

When to Talk to Your Pediatrician
Every child is different, and your pediatrician knows your baby best. If your baby has known allergies, was born prematurely, or has any feeding difficulties, consult your doctor before introducing new foods. If you ever observe signs of an allergic reaction — such as hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical care immediately.
Important Safety Disclaimer
Every child develops chewing and swallowing skills at their own pace. The preparation methods shown are general guidelines; you must always evaluate your individual child's ability before serving. By offering this food, you agree to the following:
- Choking & Preparation: All foods can pose a choking hazard. You are strictly responsible for modifying food sizes and textures to match your child's skills. Always physically inspect this food for hidden hazards (e.g., bones, pits, seeds, splinters, or tough skins) before serving.
- Food Handling: Ensure all ingredients are properly washed, stored, and cooked to safe internal temperatures to prevent foodborne illness. Never serve raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs to an infant.
- Allergens: Introduce any new food one at a time. Observe your child closely for signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing) and seek emergency medical care immediately if symptoms occur.
