How to Cut
Cutting instructions are not applicable for sheep milk yogurt. At this stage, sheep milk yogurt can be served plain or lightly stirred. If you wish, mix it with a smooth fruit puree or mashed vegetables for added flavor and nutrients. Always ensure the yogurt is plain and unsweetened to avoid added sugars, and avoid any mix-ins that may be choking hazards (such as whole nuts or seeds).
Serving Instructions
At 6-9 months, serve 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 ml / 0.5-1 fl oz) of plain sheep milk yogurt as part of a balanced meal. Combine with iron-rich foods (like pureed meats or lentils) and vitamin C sources (like fruit puree) to support optimal nutrient absorption. Offer yogurt no more than once daily to introduce dairy slowly and monitor for possible reactions.
