Introducing Yogurt

My DD is almost 8 months and I am thinking of introducing yogurt to her feeding schedule. Right now this is her schedule:


7:30 bottle
9:00 cereal and banana
1:00 bottle and lunch (veggie and fruit)
4:00 bottle
5:30 veggie and fruit
8:00 bottle before bed

when would you give her yogurt? Does it replace a fruit/veggie or is it yet another meal/snack?

Oh and another question.. can you start giving cheese once you start giving yogurt? any specific kind of cheese?

Also- for those that give DC meat- do you give it every day? do you still give it dailyt once you introduce yogurt/cheese?

Thanks so much !!

My dd loves yogurt, she eats it almost everyday for lunch. I also give her cheese.

tHANKS! DO YOU GIVE IT TO HER AS HER LUNCH OR IN ADDITION? THANKS

Re: Introducing Yogurt

when I give yogurt it is in place of lunch. I guess I could give cheese, I just haven't yet. Also one of my girls does not tollerate dairy, so t's harder when they are eating diferent things.

As for meat. I either give a jar of meat, egg yolks, or actual chicken depending on what is in the house. On days I have egg whites for breakfast, they have yolks for dinner. On days we eat chicken for dinner, they eat chicken for dinner. If neither of those things are happening they get a jar.

Re: Introducing Yogurt

DD gets a container of yogurt (yobaby) for lunch. It replaced the veggie/fruit puree that she previously would have for lunch.

I started with giving yogurt as my DD's lunch. You can try cheese too. I buy string cheese and give that to her. She likes the sharp cheddar, mozz and provolone.

Re: Introducing Yogurt

I usually give it to DD for breakfast, when I used to give her cereal and fruit.

We usually give ds a half a container of yo baby yogurt as a snack after lunch or dinner.
