Many people like to have a cup of yogurt after a meal because yogurt can help the body digest food and promote gastrointestinal motility. However, most yogurt needs to be refrigerated, so sometimes it is not suitable for some people to consume, otherwise it may cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc. So, can a 14 month old baby drink yogurt?
At fourteen months old, the baby's digestive system is relatively well-developed, so it is recommended to drink some yogurt appropriately. Yogurt not only contains calcium substances that the human body needs, but also some probiotics, which are beneficial for helping babies regulate their intestinal health. Especially suitable for babies with constipation problems, this can alleviate their discomfort caused by constipation.
However, parents should pay attention to the amount of yogurt they give their babies and not let them drink too much, as yogurt is refrigerated and consuming too much can cause abdominal pain. And it is recommended that parents leave the yogurt taken out of the refrigerator for a period of time before letting the baby consume it. Moreover, after drinking yogurt, babies need to rinse their mouths and brush their teeth in a timely manner, as yogurt contains a certain amount of sugar. If babies do not brush their teeth in a timely manner, it can easily cause damage to their teeth, which is not conducive to their dental health.
Additionally, it is generally recommended that parents arrange 100 milliliters of yogurt for their babies every day. However, it should be noted that if the baby is allergic to milk protein, it is necessary to consult a doctor before deciding whether to give the baby yogurt. Moreover, when parents purchase yogurt, they should pay attention to the food nutrition chart of yogurt, and it is best to choose yogurt without food additives and sugar.
