How to Serve Fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt (low sugar) to a 6–9 Months Old

Fine to serve

Suitable at this age with the usual preparation described below.

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.

  • Strict Supervision: 100% active, arm's-length adult supervision is required at all times while your child is eating or interacting with food.
