Hi all

I would like to introduce yogurt to my 8 month old baby..and I have heard that greek yogurt is the best...is this true?

If so, does anyone know where in HK I can get organic greek yogurt? Thanks!!!

thanks..but would you know if greek yogurt is necessarily better? or is it just thicker and creamier? and do you know if I can feed yogurt to a 8 month old everyday? Thanks!!
 
I give 2 "Petits Miam" to my 8 months old daugther every day... she looooves it, and never had any trouble.
 
I'm with Frenchy on this.
We used Petit Miam for my older child (who is now 5) and will use it again for my little girl (7 months).
 
I don't know if greek yogurt is better...we use petite miam and now yeo valley. But I think you can just use regular natural yogurt.
 
i use Yoplait Baby Yoghurt, you can buy it easily at Park n Shop, Apita, Fusion and Great at Pacific Place. My son absolutely loves it! I used to buy Greek yoghurt as well, but i find the yoghurt becomes watery after i open which i think isnt so good for our babies hence i resort to the smaller size yoghurts which are perfect in volume for 1 feed :)
 
We use Easiyo unsweetened full-fat greek yogurt, which we can make 1 litre of yogurt for about $45. The reason we use it is cost and because it's fresh and thus the good bacteria levels are supposedly higher than 'dead' pre-packaged yogurt. Easiyo have a number of organic flavour options which are a little more expensive than the regular ones. But I don't worry too much if it's not organic since it is made from NZ milk which I trust.

Maybe try your baby on some high quality greek yogurt with some fruit puree in it (the plain yogurt might be a bit sour and unpalatable otherwise). But if he/she will eat unsweetened yogurt then that's great. There are lots of good brands at any of the international stores such as CitySuper.

Just check some of the kid's yogurts carefully first, I have found many are very high in sugar and don't seem to have much in the way of nutritional value.
 
I agree with Ozmerc, i recently tried my son on Muller yoghurt and found that it contains sugar hence its sweeter than the yoplait baby yoghurt. I know its debatable but i dont want to start my son now on sugar added food and rather have him eating food with natural sugars and flavors instead. :)

Ozmerc: where can u buy Easiyo? I dont remember seeing it in Park n shop or Apita in the east where i live.. :)
 
Easiyo is sold at CitySuper and I'm certain I've seen it in Taste & ThreeSixty as well. It isn't sold in the regular grocery store, unfortunately. Be aware that you also need the Easiyo maker (basically a giant thermos) for making the yoghurt in. They are sold at CitySuper.

I was actually just in Citysuper today and was looking at the different yoghurt options. There seemed to be quite a few that would be appropriate for young kids. Not all were greek - many were just plain. They even had some in the little kid sized pottles. Rachel's Organic makes little kiddy pots - the ingredients list seemed OK (no high fructose corn syrup like the cheaper brands), it was fruit puree mixed with yogurt. I couldn't find the sugar content though.
