subject: When To Start Giving Frozen Yoghurt For Babies [print this page] When we were small we were told that we need to drink a lot of milk in order to grow well. While this is true, in this day and age we need to find alternative ways to get the goodness of dairy products into children, such as flavoured milks, yoghurt and the latest treats- frozen yoghurt for kids. In recent years it has come to light that many children are lactose intolerant and that the one thing which we have always believed to be the best natural food- milk- is to blame. When I had my children I was told that they should not be given fresh milk until they were a year old. However, products made from milk were fine to give once the child was over 7 months, such as rice pudding, custard and yoghurt.
The cultures in yogurt decrease the lactose and help break down the hard-to-digest milk proteins. This is why babies can eat yogurt, but not drink milk, before one year, but this recommendation is for the baby who has no history of dairy sensitivities or allergies. In many cultures, yogurt is actually one of baby"s first foods! There are many companies which now provide frozen yoghurt for baby palettes. There are different ways of serving up frozen yoghurt for babies and these can lead to some messy fun.
